Discouragement like fog can unobtrusively & silently take over the landscape and our lives. Or as the poet Carl Sandburg wrote, “The fog comes in on little cat feet.” Many times, there is nothing we can definitely point to that make us feel so disheartened, dismayed, or discouraged…but we need to be very careful, for discouragement wants us to hide within ourselves. Rather, we need to run to the Lord and His Word. The prophet Isaiah in this Scripture shows us that God’s Presence is always with us in a covenantal relationship of love, strength, help, and protection. So the next time the fog of discouragement sneaks in, look to Him with faith over fear, devotion over discouragement, and dedication over dismay.
