Take Heart; Delight in the Lord

Have you ever wondered how often people tend to doubt themselves throughout the day?  How ineffectual they sometimes must feel whenever compared to another person?  Or doubt their personal characteristics and abilities whenever they see someone else who seems to have it all?  If you answered yes to any of these, then do not fear; take heart, and delight in the Lord.

God has you perfectly and intricately designed just as He would have you to be.  For He created your inmost being, knitting you together in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-14 KJV).

So often times we tend to forget God is in charge of our lives.  All accomplishments, praises, and things given to us in good gifts are from God, our Father (James 1:17 KJV).

As trials and tribulations work their way into our lives, we should consider them all as joy, for the Lord is testing us in that He may strengthen us in accordance to His good works, glory, and Will (James 1:2-4 KJV).  And, during the times whenever life becomes difficult, always reflect on this one thing about yourself:  take heart, and delight in the Lord!
