On those days that you are discouraged…

August 15, 2015 By Barb Camp 6 Comments

Second Chance to Dream: On those days you are discouraged..

I am up early this Saturday morning. The house is quiet.  I’m drinking my coffee and reading my Bible.  I’m doing a study on Psalms 119 and today’s passage is Psalms 119:105-108.  “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”  Today as I’m reading, I’m struggling. I’m in a mood.  I really want to grasp something from His word today and not just read it, to say I read it.  I’m feeling stuck.  I’m feeling stagnant.  Ever been there?

Verse 105 says that His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path so maybe I need to look at the path I’m walking on right now.  What are the thoughts I’ve been thinking?

  • How I feel I’m stuck.
  • How I’m in a rut with my blog.
  • How my house is a hole and I can’t keep it up.
  • How I’m panicking that summer is almost over and I don’t feel like I’ve gotten to enjoy much of it.

I could go on but I won’t bore you.  You might be feeling a few of the same things.

I decide to go to God’s word to see what He says to me.  Here are just a few of the things He reminded me of:

  • My God will supply every need of mine according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19
  • I am confident that God will complete the good work He started in me.  Phil. 1:6
  • I am free from condemnation.  Rom. 8:1
  • I may approach God with freedom and confidence. Eph. 3:12
  • I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.  Phil. 4:13

These words are the truth.  They are the light on the path that feels so dark.  I want to receive them.  I first need to go and break the agreements that I’ve made. I need to confess my wrong thinking. Then I need to accept and welcome the truth in my life and be grateful for all the wonderful things I do have in my life.

The truth is:

I’m not stuck because God will complete the good work he started in me.

I may approach the throne of God with freedom and confidence to help me with each of these things that discourages me.

I am free from condemnation, especially the condemnation I’m putting on myself.

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me, but I have to ask Him to do that.

He gives me EVERYTHING I need!  I do not have to journey on this path alone.

What do you do when you are discouraged?

    Hi Barb! I've learned stuck is a good place to stand. Once I realize I am there, I can stand in God's love and realize my limitations are not His. I pray you are encouraged today. Thanks for sharing some with the rest of us!

    He will never leave us nor forsake us! Thankfully, He will continue His good work in us until the day we see His face!

    What a great refuge to turn too :Psalm 119. I feel discouraged a lot lately, but I am waiting on God. I know He is in control. Thanks for linking up with us at the #LMMLinkup this week.

      Hi Mary, I'm sorry your feeling discouraged. It's a yucky place to be. Lean into Jesus and let Him fill you back up. Watch the things you are thinking about as well. Thanks for hosting so I could link up.
