Everything Is Going to Be Alright
Little do you know that when you think that way, Satan is right there to accommodate you and make all those curses you spoke come true. The devil will make sure you’re good and tired, you’re good and stressed out and good and financially broke.

Discouragement is a thief – it is one of Satan’s biggest distractions to get us off the racetrack. Discouragement steals your vitality, your zeal, your joy, your peace, and your contentment. If discouragement dwells long with you, its friends will soon join. Their names are fatigue, hopelessness, despair, self-pity, depression, doubt, and bitterness. Sometimes, discouragement can be so strong that you even don't want to go on living.

Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust of the future. It is the result of blindness. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. It is unawareness of the presence of God, unconcern for the needs of our fellow man, and unbelief in the promises of His Word. If we have nothing to rely on, or we forget our blessing and look to our circumstances, then that is when discouragement begins to take hold.

Brethren, what do you need to do? Kick the devil of discouragement, get back on the racetrack and continue to run the race with confidence. Running the race with endurance, perseverance, and faith is something we must continue to choose day after day.

Running the race requires endurance. This race is not like a 100 meter dash; it is like a marathon. It starts the moment you receive Christ and lasts until you die or Christ returns. And the path is not level ground; it leads through all kinds of hills and obstacles. Such a race does not require blinding speed; it does require endurance. [Next Page]
