'I would have lost heart, unless I had believed.' - Psalm 27:13 (NKJV)

David was a giant killer, a psalm writer and Israel's most popular king. But when the stresses of life brought him to his breaking point, he wrote, the verse above.

Are you at your breaking point today? When you get to that place, one of two things happens: you either break down or break through! It all depends on what you do. David experienced a breakthrough because he knew the right formula:

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord! - Psalm 27:14

There's an old saying - 'The sun that melts the butter hardens the clay'. When trouble comes people sometimes turn against God because they have served him faithfully, and don't understand why he is permitting them to go through such a hard time. You can be like them or you can turn to God for an answer. Nothing catches him off guard and nothing is too hard for Him.

Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’ - Isaiah 46:9-10 (NKJV)

You may be in a state of shock right now - but God isn't. Your circumstances can actually become a platform for Him to demonstrate his unfailing love and care for you. So don't lose heart; he's going to bring you through this storm and bring glory to His name in the process.
