Why are we so discouraged? Why are we so disappointed with people and with things that go on in our lives? It’s simple — it’s because we don’t understand what God is doing in our lives.

We want everyone and everything to adapt to us, our ways, and what we want. We don’t think to change our ways, which stretches you to grow, and to mature.

When we learn what God is doing in our lives, the discouragement fades, the disappointment subsides, and we move forward with joy and a purpose.

Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV) – search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
