DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED IN DOING GOOD

This kingdom stuff is serious business....in case you didn't know it.  Let me verify it for you.  How many times do you find yourself on the brink of high motivation only to be cut down.  Yes.  A direct signal of kingdom labor.

I'm used to it in some ways; yet I don't think we ever grasp this truth because it continues to catch us off guard.

Don't be discouraged.  God reigns.  Your plans, plots, schemes, and grand ideas might be out of sync with the true next church move.  But God is Ruler.  We are free to move about knocking on the next great concept.  Uh, it might turn out it wasn't what God had in mind and He doesn't seem keen on endorsing our latest and greatest. 

But we keep moving. 

We do not faint.  We will not grow weary.  Nope.

The earliest disciples battled the blues.  Jesus was their hope.  He up and died.  Now what?  Fishing anyone?

But God beat death.  Jesus was back.  And because we really, truly, honestly believe this one point, nothing can shut us down; not tumors, not divorce, not insult, not slaps in the spiritual face.  Nope.  Nothing.

Do not be discouraged in doing good for God and for His people and for those about to become His people and for your enemies.  God has cleared every obstacle.  Anything that portrays itself as a major interruption is a complete fake.

Life.  Go for it!
