" Have I not commanded you ? Be strong and of a good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; for the LORD your GOD is with you wherever you go. " Joshua 1:9
DISCOURAGED?
" Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!" Psalm 27:14
" My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him." Psalm 62:5
Discouragement is nothing new. Many of the great Bible characters became discouraged. Moses in the Sinai desert; Elijah when he heard Jezebel was searching for him to take his life; and David when his son Absalom rebelled against him.
It is as old as the history of man. There is often a cause for discouragement. It comes many times when we don't get our way, when things don't work out the way we want them to. Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan's device to thwart the work of God in our life.
Discouragement blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us perceive only the unfavorable circumstances. I have never met anyone who spent time in daily prayer, and in the study of the Word of God, and was strong in faith, who was ever discouraged for very long.
