*Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!* Psalm 27:14 (NKJV)

**Regularly spending time in God’s presence makes a significant impact on how you live.** If there’s any question, just look at the life of David, the one who lived out—and then wrote—the words of today’s psalm. 

After all, what would cause a young shepherd boy to get up and take on a giant enemy when none of Israel’s trained soldiers would? (See 1 Samuel 17.) 

One reason is that he spent time daily in God’s presence, singing, worshipping and talking with Him. Another reason is that he had a proven track record of acting courageously against predators while protecting his flocks of sheep. When David faced trials or tough decisions, he waited on the Lord. That means he **placed his hope in Him and expected a change to take place.** 

If the problems around you are tying your stomach into knots, stop staring at those problems and press into God. Follow David’s example and **listen to the Word, sing songs of praise and talk with God.** Sit down somewhere quiet, open your Bible and say, “Lord, You are my help and my strength.” You’ll discover **His supernatural presence has a way of rising up and settling your spirit.** It’s like getting an injection of peace from Holy Spirit. The fear strangling your heart will begin to fall away as you enjoy His presence. (See Philippians 4:4.) 

Take it from David. **Wait on the Lord, be courageous, and He will strengthen your heart to keep going, no matter what giant you’re facing!**
