Listen to God’s Word When You Are Down

“….So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God….”Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

Have you been down lately? Have you been feeling like you want to quit? Have you been feeling unmotivated? Well, I have news for you. Whenever you feel down, discouraged and feel like quitting, listen to God’s word. I know this may not be what you were expecting to hear but trust me, this is what you need.

You must understand the concept of discouragement and low motivation and why it happens. Whenever you feel discouraged or depressed, it is because your faith in God has depleted a great deal, so the devil takes over and begins to put those negative thoughts in you. However, when you go back to the word of God and begin to feed on it, your faith level rises because the Bible already says, “….faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God…” Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

Now, the moment your faith rises, I guarantee that, the discouragement and depression will go from you because now your faith has come alive. So, I encourage you today to always go for the word of God whenever you notice you are down. Remember, God does not want you anxious, depressed or discouraged. He wants you happy all the time and the best way to do this is to listen to His word so that your confidence in Him can grow stronger. So, refuse to allow the devil to rob you of your happiness, instead go back to the word and feed on it. Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

Discouragement is a sign of the lack of faith, so create time for the word of God and discouragement will disappear!
