Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10
I have not run away and quit this journey. I am here and will be until this journey is completed. I won't write everyday but will continue to share with you often. Today's word is...."Encouragement".
It is easy to become discouraged in life, especially when you are working towards a goal and don't get right now results. But we must learn to hold onto to the Word of God and it's truths. This scripture from Isaiah is one that brings encouragement to me when I read it and really slow down to dissect and chew on it. God is with us and strengthens us/helps us/upholds us....knowing this is encouragement.
Whatever the journey, we are not alone ("though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for though are with me"Psalm 23:4)! Just as I am trusting God to strengthen me in my weak times and know that He will be with me through this journey, you can as well. You see the plan is to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future according to Jeremiah 29:11.
The real deal is, the journey will not always be smiles and sunshine and rainbows. There will be days that you feel like throwing in the towel. There will be days that you feel like crying. There will be days that you don't feel victorious and there will simply be days that you absolutely fail! The fact is, we can not live by our feelings. When you do not feel that you are where you should be my friends, get up, dust off and reposition yourself while you continue to move forward. The Bible tells us that there will be trouble, but to fear not as He has overcome the world (John 16:33).
BE ENCOURAGED!
