Dangers of Discouragement

We have defined discouragement and looked at dilemmas which tend to trigger discouragement.  Those triggers center around people, position, and possessions.  We next covered some dispositions which demonstrate themselves within times of discouragement.  They include: doubt, selfishness, susceptibility to temptation, unguarded tongue, anger, giving up and discouraging others.

This lesson uses an O.T. example to view specific dangers that exist within the “venom” of discouragement.  The discouraged often say and see the wrong things.  The cousin of distorted words and vision is poor decision making skills.   Yet, perhaps the greatest danger of discouragement is the fact that it incites the discipline of God.

But God does not desert His children to the dangers of discouragement.  He provides a cure to all levels of discouragement.
