“… It is enough. Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
— 1 Kings 19:4
Has discouragement dogged your path recently?
You’re probably all too familiar with that sick feeling: A friend has let you down or the promotion has fallen through or your car just clutched its chest and died.
Life often seems riddled with letdowns, and if you haven’t experienced such discouragement yet, you’re in for a rude awakening because, sooner or later, discouragement elbows its way into all of our lives.
Even spiritual giants such as Elijah experienced discouragement.
After the greatest triumph of Elijah’s career—his defeat of the prophets of Baal—he fled for his life.
When Jezebel, the Queen of Israel, threatened Elijah’s life for what he had done to the prophets, Elijah cried, “It is enough.
Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
Elijah was in the pit of despair even though he had just experienced great victory through God’s power.
Whatever discouragement we face, God’s Word tells us that we can have hope.
Scripture tells us that whatever comes our way, God will use it for good in our lives.
He promises us that He will deliver us from our despair, although we may have to suffer for a while.
Why does God allow us to suffer?
Because through the fires of our affliction, God consumes our impurities and refines our gold.
After all, what is a precious jewel but a piece of earth that has gone through some rather traumatic experiences?
God is in the process of creating beautiful gems out of us so that we may adorn His crown.
Life can either wear us down or polish us up.
If you feel discouraged today, trust Christ to use your discouraging times to mold you into a precious jewel, a person of great strength and character.
Allow those thoughts to comfort you in tough times.
“If you believe God is living, act like it.”

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
