Topic: ANTIDOTE TO FRUSTRATION
Biblical Text: ‘ Have not I commanded these? Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest’. [Joshua 1:9]
Jane busted into tears, she had just been told that she was not successful in the job interview. This was the sixth time this year she will not succeed in a job interview. All ended with a familiar response, either You are not successful or we will get back to you later. Earlier that day, the landlord served her with a quit notice because she owed over a year house rent. The job was her last hope of making ends meet. Jane was visibly frustrated! Isaac went through a season of frustration. All the wells his fathers servant had dug were covered up by the envious philistines. To get water for his large numbers of cattle was a serious challenge. He was still battling with this when the village head told him to leave the village. Forceful relocation was not what he envisaged. After, he was driven out, he tried digging wells on two different occasions but the enemy strove with him. They wanted to frustrate him, but he kept on digging until he discovered another well which they strove not with him; that same night, God appeared to him with a promise to bless and multiply him. A crucial antidote to frustration is to intensely focus on the outcome by trusting in God and not on the obstacle. The end result will be blessing for you.
KNOW IT ∞ Trusting God is the antidote to frustration.
READ IT ∞ Genesis 26:15, 19:24, Ecclesiastes 7:8
