When Disappointment HurtsMfano

Day 4 - Endure Patiently Part of the journey through discouragement is patiently enduring. It’s not glamorous or easy, and often our instinct is to find a quick way out of the situation. But there is great value in the gap between your discouragement and God’s answer. It’s where your faith is stretched and growth takes place like a flower flourishing in the desert. Some might think that patiently enduring means merely waiting for the storm to pass but it’s so much more than that. It’s an active faith that looks for growth and greater understanding. It’s an openness that asks God to reveal something new in your soul. It’s making the most of what’s hard in order to get out what’s the best inside of you. In Psalm 16, David shows us that when we place the Lord before us, He will be with us. And we will not be shaken, no matter how uncertain the season may seem. There’s something to say about an active faith in God in the trial. Will you place your active faith in a mighty God before you, waiting patiently for Him to move in your life? Or will you scatter at the first sign of trouble? One taps into endurance, which is necessary to obtain all that God has promised in your life.
