Don't be dismayed. When you are dismayed, you are dismayed, you are shocked and disheartened. When you are disheartened, you lose your determination and your confidence. Never lose your confidence in God. You have to understand, when situations come up in your life, God is still God. God is all-powerful and all-knowing. He is well able to work out every situation in your life.
Dismayal comes to steal away your faith. It comes to change your action and to cause you to react rather than respond. When things happen in our lives, we have a choice to either react or we can respond. Remember, we react based on emotion and we respond based on knowledge. We have to choose to respond based on our knowledge of who God is and what we know He will do for us, in us, and through us.
Make the choice today to stay in faith. Make the choice to respond based on your knowledge of who God is and what you KNOW He will do. Make the choice today remain hopeful and to be confident. Make the choice today to trust God no matter what is going on in your life.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONIsaiah 41:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 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.
