You can DO MORE THAN YOU THINK

You can DO MORE THAN YOU THINK:  God’s Answer to Despair – Phil.4:13; Psalm 77; Psalm 40:1-3; Rom. 15:4; Col. 1:11– (Brian) When you review the great names and personalities of Scripture, you become quickly aware that almost all of them knew, at one time or another, great discouragement, and deep despair.

Job is singled as a man of God, blameless and upright, whose staggering losses and long and painful illness brought him low.

Then came a time when Moses would feel the crunching weight of his assignment and cries out in Deut. 1:12.

Elijah the prophet, asked for his love to be taken.

David, in his efforts to hide sin, made journal entries that speak of the total loss of strength, the ebbing away of all that is worthwhile in life, and groaning all day long. (Ps. 32:2)

Jonah, the first foreign missionary, became deeply despaired when God did not destroy Nineveh.

Jeremiah was so profoundly sad that he is known to this day as the weeping prophet and confessed that he wishes he’d never been born.

Then Nehemiah, Ezekiel and Peter and others followed in Scripture.

All our lips have spoken the words of discouragement, despair, and depression.  All our hearts have felt it.  Every one of us has known, at one time or another, the slap of setback, the grief of loss, or the disheartening effects of stress.  To be human is to feel that numbing, exhausting, de-motivating fog of depression.  And when we do, what happens to us?  To whom or what do we turn to?  Why not send out a S.O.S. To God?  He has sent one out to us through the promise He has sent to each of us.  He is our Hope when we are in despair so we can do more than we think.
