Are you discouraged with the state of things around you now, especially your progress at this time of the year? The year is drawing close to the end, many people are still struggling to have a better life than what they had at the beginning of the year. It is truly disheartening and energy draining, but there is still hope; the year is not over yet. Discouragement and God don’t go together. This post encourages you to take hold of hope coupled with joy against the discouraging circumstances to emerge triumphant.
“For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant – Job 14:7-9 (NKJV).
But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion – Ecclesiastes 9: 4 (NKJV).
Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation – Isaiah 12:3 (NKJV).
You may have started the year with excitement, enthusiasm and with great plans for a better year, and you have put in more effort in your work; however, right now you’re seeing nothing close to your earlier expectations. You are discouraged, sad and tired. I have good news for you – as long as you are alive, you still have a chance to end this year in a grand style.
The situation around you notwithstanding, there is still hope for a change. Everything may look gloomy and impossible, everyone may say this year is over and your case is closed, don’t allow them to discourage you. That may be their opinion but it’s not God’s verdict for you! Read more...
