Hey Putus,

Yeah it has really been a while, but I figure people might just be caught up, especially those who work in the Public Sector, seeing that gov't will be cutting...sad bad bad bad. Yes, I am praying for that change, trust me.

Lets just keep on moving forward in faith...while we wait on the Big Man to work things out for us.

Later mi forum fambily...:-)

During the Boer War (1899-1902), a man was convicted of a very unusual crime. He was found guilty of being a "discourager." The South African town of Ladysmith was under attack, and this traitor would move up and down the lines of soldiers who were defending the city and do everything he could to discourage them. He would point out the enemy's strength, the difficulty of defending against them and the inevitable capture of the city. He didn't use a gun in his attack; it wasn't necessary. His weapon was the power of discouragement.  

Satan is just such a discourager. He is not mentioned by name in this passage, but it's obvious he had disheartened Elijah. He convinced the prophet that all was lost. Over and over he told Elijah that "he alone was left." And Elijah came to believe that. But when it came time for Elijah to go back into the thick of things again, God revealed the truth to him. Instead of Satan's lie that "he alone was left," there were actually 7,000 people in Israel who had not followed after the false god Baal.

Satan is always ready to make things appear worse than they are if he can use it to discourage us. He continually tries to feed false information to us so we might become discouraged, and too often he succeeds. God, however, offers the solution to Satan's lies—the exceeding great and precious promises of His Word. In the Bible we find more than enough optimism to overcome the Devil's pessimism.

If your life is filled with "doom and gloom, and nothing seems to be happening" remember this may well be Satan's way of destroying your effectiveness for the Lord and your life. How can you counter the Devil's devices? Turn to the promises of God's Word. Let the Bible be your encouragement today!
