DON’T BE DISCOURAGED
Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 21, 2 Kings 22; Acts 28:17-31; Proverbs 16:28-33, Proverbs 17:1-4
“…For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Acts 28:20b WEB
There is a saying by the Japanese, “The time of trial is the time for opportunity.” Inevitably, we will face trials while on earth temporarily. But after the windy storm will surely come the gentle breeze. Revelation 2:10 encourages us, “Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
For believers, our lives will encounter tests from God. God knows His children and the strength of their faith. Paul himself faced discouragement when he was bound with chains, but the hope that his people, the Israelites, would know God was an encouragement to him. Furthermore, the time of trial opened the opportunity for Paul to profess the Good News in the circle of the whole palace (Philippians 1:12). Troubles challenge us daily in our lives, but in the end the crown of life is prepared for us, which is too valuable to set a price. The important thing is not to lose heart half-way. Discouragement is the weapon the devil uses to pull our lives down so we would not reach the crown of glory God prepared for us. Let us overcome discouragement and enter into the rich blessings awaiting us. Matthew 11:6 tells us, “…God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”
Reflection
How does discouragement open doors of opportunities for you?
Prayer
Dear God, help us so the discouragement we face will not overpower us.
We pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen
