1 Chronicles 4:9, 10 A story about Jabez. He was named "sorrow maker". Jabez prayed. He asks God to reverse the curse that his name meant and to bless him. Don't bow to the labels other people place on you or speak about you. We are to only worship God and bow to Him. Submit your life to God and He will bless you.
We overcome evil by doing good. We are agents of hope and having an expectation of good things from the Lord. Psalm 42:11 Place your hope in God and wait expectantly.
Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor of our soul. What that means is that we can hide ourselves in the faithfulness of God. Nothing with God is hopeless. All things are possible with Him. Don't quit! Believe the in Lord and all that He will do! Jesus is our hope. His hope does not disappoint.
Discouragement always comes to deter you from your future. It means to oppose what has already been established in Heaven. Be and stay encouraged in the Lord. The righteous cry to the Lord and He hears them.
