Tell everyone who is discouraged
Be strong and don't be afraid!
God is coming to your rescue.
Isaiah 35:4
Have you ever been discouraged? Yeah, me too. When I feel discouraged, I can picture Wile E. Coyote overrunning the cliff and suddenly realizing he's about to come crashing down. Discouragement does that, makes us feel as though we are about to crash! When I was younger, I used to cheer for Wile E. Coyote because it bothered me that no matter what he tried, he always lost. Talk about discouraging! You'd think Wile E. would find something else to eat, become a vegetarian, or at least find a diner somewhere.
Discouragement makes us feel weak and fearful. The question I have posed to myself during times of discouragement is: "What's the point?" You see, I was missing one key fact: God is coming to my rescue. I still struggle with that knowledge when I am feeling discouraged, because God coming to my rescue doesn't always happen on MY timetable. God has His plans for me and sometimes that means I must learn patience. And how, class, do we learn patience? By having our patience tested over and over. Not fun, but in the end we will be stronger!
God IS coming to our rescue! Keep Strong!
