Don't Get Discouraged

Don't you get "holy goosebumps" when the Lord sends you deliberate messages to your inbox?!
I think it is so cool that we serve a God who uses current technology to speak to us w/His Word!
He also uses people & current technology together which is incredible. Ronel seems to share just the right scripture at just the right time. Anissa has started a prayer blog. Heidi speaks to our souls from the other side of the world! Not to mention all the women who make us laugh, share their families & open their hearts in such a "real" way. The Holy Spirit is at work & it is comforting during these times of trials : )
Here's the follow-up devo from yesterday. So good...

Joshua 8:1 Then the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai."

Joshua dealt decisively with sin in the camp, once the Lord showed him what it was. Now, right away, the Lord is saying "way to go, now move on, be courageous, don't get bogged down with failure, I've got a job for you to do. Listen closely, here's your strategy." Joshua listened and defeated Ai.

Have you had setbacks recently? Spiritual? Financial? Business? Relational? Health? Don't beat yourself up. Go quickly to God. Take time to read the Scriptures and listen as He speaks to your heart. Do what He says, then press on. After you obey, expect His blessing. Stay at it.

All of us, at all levels of responsibility, go through this process.
Learn-Do-Forget-Fail-Learn.
As time goes on, hopefully we forget less and learn more thoroughly.
Lord, thank you for your ongoing forgiveness. Help me obey today and press on.
