Discouraged?
By Rev, Dean Beaty 6/12/12
James 1:2-4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (KJV)
Do you ever get discouraged over things that come your way?
Remember this is Satan’s world and not our eternal day.
This is the best that sinners know and the worst we’ll ever see.
Their father’s place is no delight, while heaven’s prepared for thee.
God’s Word says we are pilgrims and strangers in this place,
While the owners of this world know nothing of God’s grace.
So do not count it strange at all that you have no comfort here.
Our home is almost all prepared. We may go there yet this year.
Take heart though trials come your way and count them all as gold.
When Satan, as a lion roars, with Christ stand tall and bold.
Count it all joy to suffer and trust in God’s great grace.
Greater is He within you so fear not the lion’s face.
Peter too was discouraged when his eyes were on the sea.
But Christ was there to lift him and will be there too for thee.
Keep your eyes toward heaven and your ears tuned for Christ’s call.
Cast your cares upon the Lord and let Jesus bear them all.
I peter 5:6-8 “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (KJV)
