Fantastic Friday #303- Discouraged

Discouraged

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9

Have you walked through your week and found discouragement along the way. Maybe it was something your boss said to you that made you question your usefulness, or a friend didn't give you an encouraging word when you desperately needed it because they were too busy. Maybe you felt ignored by your spouse or significant other, when it really wasn't the case. We all feel discouragement at times, but that is a major tool of the enemy. He constantly will break you down and make you weak so you think that you are discouraged, when in reality you have nothing to be discouraged about in your life. As long as you have the Lord in your life, He has given you the strength, encouragement and His Word to be who He wants you to be in life. Be Strong and Courageous my friends.

Have a great weekend.
