1-Minute Devotion for Tuesday, 9/8/26
I recently heard one of my favorite ministers, Pastor David Jeremiah, say this:
“Discouragement is Satan’s number one tool that he uses on me.”
What? Pastor Jeremiah gets discouraged? I couldn’t believe it! I thought discouragement was something I fought against because, well, there is just something wrong with me. It had to be a weakness in me. I should be stronger than this. I need more confidence.
If Pastor Jeremiah has been plagued by discouragement, then anyone could be! After hearing him say that, I believe discouragement has lost its power over me. From now on, I’ll look at discouragement and say, “Forget it, Satan! Don’t even try that on me anymore!”
Why? Because,
“The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.” Exodus 15:2
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
In His Love, Cindy
