Scripture:
“When Moses told this to the Israelites, they were too discouraged and mistreated to believe him.” Exodus 6:9 CEV
Observation:
When Moses told the Israelites everything God was going to do, it says they were too discouraged and mistreated to believe him. This is a powerful statement. They had been beaten, used, abused, and things were only getting worse since Moses came on the scene.
Application:
Discouragement and mistreatment can cause us to not believe what God is speaking into our lives. When you haven’t seen the answer for a long time and you received a prophetic word, it is easy to discount the word or not receive it because of what you have seen in the past. There is a newer song out right now that I love called “too good to not believe.” When discouragement comes in, I have to look at all the incredible things I have seen God do in the past and remind myself, He’s too good to not believe. I want to live by faith and not by discouragement.
Prayer:
Father, help me to never cancel my future because of what I have seen in my past. Help me to walk in faith and believe whatever You are putting into my heart rather than the discouragement that would love to creep in. You truly are too good to not believe. I have watched you heal the sick, raise the dead, cause demons to leave people, and seen too much to not believe. Help my unbelief.
Your Son,
Jeff
