Discouragement

How to keep discouragement out of our lives:

1. Remember what God has done for us - Psalm 126:3 says "The Lord hath done great things for us: therefore we are glad." Let's count our blessings as we remember that life isn't over just yet.

2. Recognize what God is doing - Matthew 21:42 says, "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Jesus is alive and moving in our lives. Do we recognize his hand, provision, and voice in our lives?

3. Rejoice about what God will do - Joel 2:21 says, "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things." God is the giver of all good gifts, rejoice for He just keeps on giving and giving.
