Summary/review – You can slay the dragon of discouragement!
1. Re-evaluate your circumstances.
The test: is my faith in things that are perishable or things that are PERMANENT?
2. Re-evaluate your focus.
The test: is my hope determined by the size of my problems or the certainty of God’s PROMISES?
3. Re-evaluate your motivation.
The test: is the primary motivation of my heart to LOVE CHRIST or simply get relief and please myself?
