Do Not Be Dismayed from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about becoming “Dismayed.” To be dismayed means “to be downcast, disappointed, disheartened, filled with terror.” It replaces hope and will lead you to a dark place. We become ineffective and... -

Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:48 ESV
Daniel, who was born of royal family, was taken prisoner when Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem in 597 BC. He was taken from his homeland, made a eunuch and a servant in Babylon against his will. It wasn't the happiest of starts, but in due time, God raised him up to second-in-command and he was the wisest man in Babylon.
Joseph was born his father's favorite, but then sold into slavery, served time in prison, and then was promoted to second-in-command to Pharaoh. Moses was raised and educated as Pharaoh's royal family, then spent forty years tending sheep in the wilderness, but became the most powerful man living on earth. David was anointed by Samuel and then ran from Saul for years before he actually became the king.
God has a plan for you. Before it comes to pass though, there is a time of proving, pruning, and maturing. To us, it often looks like just plain waiting. Do not get discouraged while you are in the wilderness. God is completely faithful and the things that He has spoken to you, He will bring to pass. You cannot have a rags to riches story without the rags.

Lord, there is nothing you cannot do, but the hard part for You is getting us to be the man or woman You redeem us to be. And You're using this climb this difficulty for us to develop greater faith in you, humility, and totally trusting in You. Give us the strength and faith to go through whatever it is.
Amen and Amen! Thank you for this message today, Pastor Dion! Two beloved hymns popped into my mind! "Great is Thy faithfulness ...) talking about our loving Heavenly Father, His faithfulness and compassion for us! And then "Have Thine own way Lord, have Thine own way ...", talking about my Lord and God being the potter, molding me and shaping me, which is often a painful process. However, I'm His child, He loves me and wants the best for me, and wants to use me for His purpose! Thank you my Lord and God for your love and sacrifice even unto death, I praise you in the holy name of Jesus, Amen!
