Don't Become Discouraged

You've heard bad news.
You've had test after test.
You've been through the fire.
You've wondered, is it worth it.
You've had good days but double the bad.
You've missed more church, more soul winning times, more of what you enjoy, than ever before.

Friend, let me tell you, God is in control!
He knows your fears.
He see your tears.
He hears your prayers.
He knows your tomorrows.
He knows your pain and suffering .
He knows your heart!

So why do we get discouraged ?
Why do we stop _____________ you put in what you've quit. The trials, the heart aches, the illness, the testing, everything is for a reason! It's not and it shouldn't ever discourage us. Now, we are human, our flesh gets the best of us at times BUT.....

Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee get an mighty things, which thou knowest not."

Psalms 91:15 "He shall call up in me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.

Joshua 1:9 "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Friends, family, stranger, God is never taken by surprise when things come into our lives. If you don't dwell on the past, simply look to the present see what God has for you today. I know and believe that you'll be better for it.
Yes, we have things we're going through. As you know if you've read this blog much or know me, I'm dealing with cancer. A few days ago it hit me that it was around this time last year, I knew something maybe going on. There were signs of things, pain but we were headed to see our daughter, her family, our son and my parents. So wise or not I ignored it and went and enjoyed my family, bearing a burden that only God an I knew about.

God was and still is in control. The thing is I can't say what if I.... it's done and well, it's in the past. So, I'm going forward. I'm not going to let Satan discourage me, pull me down or destroy me.

The choice is yours! Are you going to let past circumstances, situations, illnesses etc ruin today and your future?

Pick-up where you are, run to your Heavenly Father,  lean on Him, trust in Him, call upon him!

So what am I going to do?
Make Today Amazing by Not getting Discouraged!
