When we’re discouraged

Moses told [all God’s promises] to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their broken spirit and hard labor. (Exodus 6:9)

Let’s be honest. When we’re discouraged, when we’re feeling beaten up by the world, we often don’t want to hear it when people try to give us God’s words of encouragement.

It’s so easy to get jaded because we think, “I’ve heard these promises before, but I’m worse off than I ever was.”

But the thing we need to remember is God is Yahweh.

God’s name itself implies that he is the one who never changes. That he is the one who always keeps his promises. And that he is the one who is always faithful.

That was his point in saying, “I am the LORD; I am Yahweh.” (2, 6, 8)

So if you’re struggling right now, meditate on that truth: “I am the LORD; I am Yahweh.”

And know that the God who was with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who was with Moses and the Israelites…this same God is with you.

He was faithful then. He is faithful now. And he will be faithful for all eternity.
