Fight Despair

If our Lord does not despair of us, we must not despair of ourselves. A teacher has no chance with a despairing child, nor has a doctor with a despairing patient. If the child says “I can’t” often enough, it simply cannot, and nothing anyone can do can help.

So we must not say, “I can’t. Others can, but they are different. It is not in me to conquer. I shall be defeated to the end.”

That is folly and treachery, too, for it is disbelieving the word of our God. His word is always, “Fear not; you can.” "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage." Is there one discouraging word in our Bible? Not one.

Try using Bible words as a sword with which to fight the devil of discouragement. "There is none like that; give it me," David said about the sword of Goliath the Philistine. How much more may we say about the strong word of our God: “There is none like that, O Spirit of the living God. Give it me.”

Ask, and He will.
