YOUR INSPIRATION IS YOUR BEAUTY AND STRENGTH

6/26/2025

“Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.”— Proverbs 29:18 (NIV)

Life is full of moments that can easily lead to discouragement—times when you feel unappreciated, unloved, or overwhelmed. Being born again doesn’t exempt you from such emotions, but it equips you to rise above them. The difference between remaining stuck in bitterness and walking in victory is often your response. And that response must be rooted in faith-filled words.

Unchecked discouragement can fester into deep frustration, un-forgiveness, and poor decisions. Some of the most shocking life choices—abandoning families, severing relationships, or walking away from purpose—have stemmed from unresolved emotional pain. Many of these individuals knew the Lord, but they allowed bitterness to speak louder than the Word.

Jesus didn’t promise a life without challenges. In John 16:33, He said, “In the world you will have tribulation… but be of good cheer! I have overcome the world.” The key to remaining encouraged isn’t pretending trouble doesn’t exist—it’s anchoring your life in the Word of God and speaking His truth consistently.

As a husband, let your love be inspired by God’s Word, not just appearances or emotions. As a parent, pastor, or volunteer, let your service be fueled by obedience to God—not by the applause of others. Your reward is with the Lord. Psalm 25:3 assures us: “No one who trusts in God will ever be disgraced or disappointed.”

The Word gives purpose. It sharpens vision. And where vision is clear, strength is renewed. Proverbs 29:18 reminds us that where there’s no revelation, people throw off restraint—they lose direction, discipline, and drive. But when you heed divine wisdom, your life remains on course, no matter how you feel.

So speak the Word over your life. Over your home. Over your work. Speak joy, strength, peace, and purpose. Your words shape your reality, and they must reflect what God has already declared about you.

Do not walk away from anything God has entrusted to you because of a moment of discouragement. Pause. Pray. Inquire of the Lord. Your best days are still ahead. Don’t let a temporary challenge rob you of a lasting destiny.

Remember: Your inspiration is your beauty and your strength. Guard it fiercely with the Word.

Faith-Filled Confession:

God’s Word is my daily inspiration and unshakable motivation. I do not have down days. My life is rich with favor and fully loaded with divine blessings. Bitterness, anger, and frustration have no place in me. I walk in love, I walk in power, and my faith is alive and effective—today and every day, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
