Don't Lose Heart

One of the greatest weapons the Devil has in hindering people from enter the joys of heaven is depression. When one looses hope he looses heart. Once a person looses heart they are destined to fail at whatever endeavors they undertake.

From time to time we witness this in sporting events. One team will get behind and you can sometimes see it coming. They hang their heads and internally give up. The outcome is always the same, THEY LOSE.

In the Christian life the same is true. Satan heaps trials and tribulations on us and sometimes we begin to hang our heads. Once he gets us to doubting ourselves and our Christianity, he is well on his way to getting us to quit. Some members who quit will stop attending services and revert to worldly living. While others go through the outward motions of the faith but inwardly they are dead as a doorknob.

Paul told the church at Ephesus that we are not ignorant of the devices of the devil, nor of his ways. If we are going to succeed in being true to God for the duration of our lives we must not lose heart. Trials are guaranteed. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

We need to look to the biblical accounts of men and women who overcame great disappointments and troubles, and learn from them. Romans 15:4 says, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."

Men like Job, who suffered more than most of us can even fathom, should inspire us to persevere. If he overcame the lose of ten children and all of his wealth in one day, then we too can endure when life force-feeds us bitter pills. His health was lost and yet he stayed true to God.

When we suffer the lose of family members, even the untimely lose of young family members, we cannot lose heart. We can’t quit. If we quit, Satan wins. If we quit there will be no true peace (Matt. 25:21, 46). If we quit Christ died in vain, the church labors in vain and our life is a tragic waste.

When we grow ill, don’t forget we serve the Great Physician. He offers peace and life (Matt. 11:28,29). Sometimes it doesn’t come until the next life, but it will come if we don’t quit.

Losing heart is a problem with which many struggle on a daily basis. Please try to keep a biblical perspective, life is full of problems, BUT, they are TEMPORARY. God’s love is eternal. Don’t Lose Heart.
