Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
I want to place this verse in the context of Psalms 31:10 (KJV)
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
The Psalmist expressed just about the lowest sentiments imaginable but was, within a few lines, rejoicing in hope and gratitude, Psalms 31:23 (KJV)
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
The Word of God gives us a powerful and needful truth in Psalms 31:22 (KJV)
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
Oh, how often words of despair are spoken in haste.
All we that hope in the Lord have reason to be of good courage.
