Psalm, 27 is a good place to go to see a good way to handle being discouraged. We shouldn't look to our feelings, because they can be a broken compass to determine where we are going in our lives. We should start by proclaiming confidence in the Lord.

As it repeatedly says in Nehemiah, the best way to handle Discouragement by Fear is to focus on the God who can . . . and we prayed . . .

Nehemiah 4:1-6 shows us a perfect example of how to handle opposition and the discouragement it can produce.

Humility is easier to describe by what it is not. It actually is not something that is achieved. It is something that is pursued.

In Romans 12:11 and in Nehemiah, we see the benefits of serving.

Sharing the Gospel is a partnership endeavor, especially when it involves sending someone to a foreign mission field. In Philippians 1, Paul talks about how that happens.

Continuing in our study of the book of Nehemiah, after a quick reminder and overview of what we learned from the first two chapters, we see that worship and service is every man's duty.

As we finish our Summer in the Psalms series, we take a final look at what we can learn from Psalm 63 and growing our passion for God, even in a wilderness experience.

Our true value is not found in what we think about ourselves, but in what God thinks about us.

As seen in Psalm 92, there are two kinds of people, and two outcomes for those people.

We need to deal honestly with the struggles in our lives. But to do that, we must first acknowledge them before the Lord and then choose to focus on Him.

Psalm 139:13-17 is a good place to look to see that God made you the way you are for a purpose. He loves you the way you are and can help you change more into His image. He knew you before you were born, even before you were formed "in your mother's womb." Which makes a lie of the claims for abortion. You were made in God's image from the point of conception.

As we continue our study of Psalm 63, we see how David's focus on God helped him in the night time experiences of his wilderness. Then we look at 5 myths about our relationship with God.

Sometimes we think we can get away with doing something and try to hide it. Sometimes we think there is no privacy because of technology. The truth is we can't hide from God.

The difficult times in our lives can show us a lot about what we truly desire, if it really is to know and trust God more.
