Coincidence - 7-28-10

Coincidence is never just coincidence.

This morning, I checked Facebook and Lacie had posted this:

I’ve really been dwelling on Ps. 27:14. Read today in my Bible’s Lexical Aid that the Hebrew word for “be brave” is the same one used 12 times in Exodus to describe Pharaoh’s stubborn, stout-hearted refusal to let the Israelites free. Neat that the Psalmist uses that same kind of picture of stubbornness to describe what our hope and expectancy in the Lord should be.

.

Same verse I found last night, different version. Lacie’s version was probably New Living Translation: “Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord and be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

.

So my stubbornness is being tested yet again. I should be used to this. Oh, well. Into the breach once more, boys.

.

It did help, though. Thanks, God.
