OVERCOMING DISCOURAGEMENT
We often become
Discouraged or disappointed
On our life’s journey
Sometimes it’s just
The ordinary things of life
Our job isn’t going right
We score badly on a test
In school
Someone looks at us
The wrong way
Or says the wrong thing
At the wrong time
Or it could be
Something more major
Like a health diagnosis
Bad finances
Or a relationship breaking apart
In ANY case
The question becomes
How do we overcome being discouraged
And WHERE
Do we find HOPE
In the book of Joshua
God appoints Joshua
To succeed Moses
And Joshua is wondering
If he has what it takes
AS YOU AND I
Sometimes wonder
IF we have what it takes
To overcome our obstacles
And SUCCEED in life
God tells Joshua
“Have I not commanded you
Be strong and courageous
Do not be terrified
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED
For the Lord your God
Will be with you
WHEREVER YOU GO” Joshua
1:9
And I tell you
BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
In whatever obstacles
You are facing in life
WIN FROM WITHIN
WE HAVE what it takes
The Lord your God
The Lord my God
OUR GOD IS WITH US
Of whom or what
Should we be afraid
“WHY are you so downcast
Oh my soul
Why so disturbed within me
PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD
For I will yet praise him
My Savior-and my God”
Psalm 42:5-6
So in Psalm 42
We find the answer
To being discouraged
PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD
And WHAT EXACTLY
Is this thing called HOPE
It is KNOWING
That when we run into discouragement
And into difficulty
That tomorrow can be-and WILL BE BETTER
If we just TRUST IN GOD
“Therefore
Prepare your minds for action
Be self-controlled
Set your hope
Rely on the GRACE
To be given you
When Jesus Christ is REVEALED”
1 Peter 1:13-14
And Jesus Christ
Has been REVEALED
To you and me
So we have the POWER
WITHIN us
TO OVERCOME every discouragement in our life
You have WHAT IT TAKES
WIN FROM WITHIN
Find your hope IN GOD
