"Dispel Discouragement"
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 27:14 (HCSBO) Wait for the LORD; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the LORD.
Devotion And Meditation:
The root of discouragement is unbelief. Perhaps
you are discouraged because you think you aren’t making enough money
(and you aren’t convinced God can supply your needs). Or you are frustrated in your job (and you refuse to believe God can help you to be content). Or maybe you are worried about health problems (and you don’t even stop to consider that your health is in God’s hands). Discouragement is a large cloud that, like all clouds, obscures the warmth and joy of the sun. In the case of spiritual discouragement the Son of God, the Lord Jesus, is eclipsed in our lives. Discouragement blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us perceive only the unfavorable circumstances. There is only one way to dispel discouragement, and it is not on our own strength or ingenuity. It is to turn in faith to God, believing that He loves us and is in control of the future. The Bible says, “Wait on the Lord…and He shall strengthen your heart.”
Win or lose, I want to make sure that I make God's name great
Galatians 2:20
