Are you Discourged ?

Are you bearing a load or burden and are at your wits end about what to do? I have been there before, let me share some verses with you about that.

Proverbs 16:3 says
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Psalms 37:5 says
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
These verses speak of living for God with your whole life and trusting in him for the needs that arise in the walk of life. In Matthew 6:25-34 God tells us not to worry about the needs that we have but to seek his kingdom first and foremost with everything we have and he will see to it that our needs are met. I have seen this work in my own life. For example a few years ago the car I had at the time gave up the ghost on me as the engine was going to need to be rebuilt before it could be used anymore. That very same week that I found that out God opened the door for me to buy a new(used) car with less miles on it and with a sound engine at a price that was not much more then having the engine rebuilt in my current car. Not only was it a better bang for the buck so to speak but it was a car model that I had seen years before that I very much wanted to own but never expected to.

God really does take care of his children. That example above is only one of many that I have seen God perform in my life and in the life of others. So if you are discouraged right now. Just commit that problem to Him and trust Him. He will give you peace, take care of what ever that situation is and will make sure that your needs are met.
