Resting in the Lord/Discouraged because of the way

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. (Num 21:4 KJV)

Sometimes, like the Israelites, we also get discouraged because of the way, that is because of the path the Lord has us on. Things happen to us too slowly, or too quickly, or unexpected events and outcomes make us discouraged.

The key to conquering our discouragement is to rest in the Lord. His plan is perfect and so is His timing. No matter what we are going through, we can rest knowing God is still on His throne.

“...... He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’ (Daniel 4:35b NASB)

The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. (Psa 116:6-7 NASB)

When you are discouraged because of the way, rest in the Lord fellow traveler.

My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance. (Psalm 62:1 ISB)
