Overcoming Discouragement with Joy

1 Kings 8:56 says, "...Every word has come true of all His good promise..." (NLV). Fear leaves when you can rely on something that can’t fail. God has never failed to fulfill His promises. There are over 1000 predictions or prophecies in the Bible—promises that God made before they happened. The chances of merely 17 of these coming to pass are 1 out of 450 billion x 1 billion x 1 trillion! Yet not one of these promises has failed.

Hope is our endurance factor; it is the guarantee of a desired expectation or anticipated result of a promise.  It is the realization that we are always in the inner sanctuary of the Almighty.

Psalm 16:11 King James Version

¹¹ Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
