You were created to walk with God in the garden in the cool of the day, sin came into the world and you bore the consequences, Jesus came and took your place and reversed the curse and offered you His yoke that is easy and His burden that is light. You're a child of God creation longs to be revealed. Don’t conform but be transformed so you can have peace and joy and hope at all times and in every situation.

But what if you’re discouraged?

Verse

Ephesians 4:20-23 But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

Thoughts on discouragement

All of us are going to have times of discouragement. It’s part of living in a fallen world.

Jesus promised that “in this world you will have trouble.” (John 16:33) Paul insisted that, “those who get married at this time will have troubles” (1 Corinthians 7:28).

It’s not a matter of avoiding trouble, it’s how are you going to go through it.

David lost everything. Ziklag was destroyed and their families were taken. Everyone was discouraged and his men talked about stoning him. “But David strengthened himself in the Lord”

The number one tip to rise above discouragement

When you are discouraged….

Strengthen yourself in the Lord.

You can do this yourself through:

  • praise and joy;
  • the Word;
  • waiting expectantly on the Lord and
  • praying in the Spirit.
  • You can also get encouragement from others through life-giving relationships.

When you’re discouraged, how do you strengthen yourself in the Lord? Do you have a go-to rhythm?

I figured it was the group I grew up in, so we’re the only ones I should probably poke fun at. Apparently some people didn’t’ know that about me. One day I came back into the class with a fresh cup of coffee before the break was over. There was a group in the back corner and I went to see what was going on. One of the guys turned to me and said, “Can you believe these guys still think tongues is still a gift for today?” “Hey me too!” I laughed, “I pray them every day!” Then I challenged, “How do you strengthen yourself
