In this sermon When The Dilemma Is Discouragement, if a man is not careful, discouragement can have a tendency to deepen and to darken our days. When we are discouraged, if we are not vigilant, we can fail God miserably. The devil loves to take advantage of our thinking during times of discouragement. He does not want you to know that God works in mysterious ways. Often the hands of mercy are toward those when His heart is not. The Bible is loaded with examples of this. Don’t get confused by the mysterious ways of God. Health, wealth, and honors just as crosses, sickness, and losses come to both good men and bad men. It could be that the worst of men have most of the outward things. The best men have the least of the world but the most of heaven! Don’t get discouraged because of the way! God Will Take Care of Those Who Abuse His Mercy. The devil doesn’t want you to know that there is a day of reckoning that is going to come for those who abuse his mercy. When men take advantage of God’s mercy and goodness to do evil, God will take care of it in due time. The devil uses the mercy of God shown to others in an attempt to get you to walk away from Him and the church. Don’t buy into it! No soul is going to be able to avoid the judgment of God. You can get the things you want but sometimes at the leanness of the soul. It is a heavy plague to have a fat body and a lean soul; a house full of gold but a heart full of sin.
