Beware - As we have worked through this past year, we have faced many difficult days. Fighting against discouragement that can immobilize you and keep you from moving forward. There is that piece of bad news that never materializes, but was just enough to discourage you at the time you heard it. Even worse is the good news that brought you hope and lifted your spirits and then fell through. These wiles of the devil have the ability to jerk the rug right out from under you.
Why do these attacks work so well on us over and over again? I have found that it is because I am too focused on the future. When I say, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it," I can focus on what is happening now and find the grace and help to deal with today. Why would God give us the grace to deal with something that has not happened and that he knows will never come to pass.
Enjoy your day! The bad news probably will not come to pass and the good news may not either but you can make a difference where you are. Thank the Lord for today and enjoy the grace he will provide for you today.
