DON’T BE DISCOURAGED
As the year is coming to a close, you might feel as though your goals are still out of reach, or you may be encountering various challenges - be it physical, marital, mental, emotional, financial, or related to your loved ones. Don’t lose heart or feel discouraged. Instead, take inspiration from David, who encouraged himself in the Lord during his time of distress, as recorded in 1 Samuel 30:6-8 (KJV):
"And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, each man for his sons and daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all."
Rest assured that the same God who came through for David will come through for you. You will achieve your goals, overcome every challenge, and recover all that seems lost. Hold on to your faith, and trust in His promises. In Jesus name, it shall be so! AMEN
