Psalms 42:5-6 (MSG); Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God — soon I'll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He's my God. When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse everything I know of you, From Jordan depths to Hermon heights, including Mount Mizar.

When your soul is down cast, encourage yourself in the Lord. How so? Our theme scripture reveals that David did this by rehearsing the past victories that God had granted him. That is how we win; it is how we overcome. Rehearse.

Regardless of what you are going through right now, be it a financial, family or job crisis, simply think back and meditate on what God did for you in the past.

There are situations you went through years ago that felt like they would never end and you would not make it through alive; but God was faithful!

If it was disease, He healed you. If it was loss, He comforted you. If it was lack, He provided and made a way when your back was against the wall.

When you face adversity, simply remember those moments and how He helped you through.

No matter how harsh your situation is, get yourself alone and rehearse. “Father you delivered me from the hands of my enemies two years ago…You healed me when the doctor’s report spoke no hope….You provided when no man could meet my need….This situation is no different. If you were faithful then, you are faithful now.”

Don’t wail about what is wrong. Simply rehearse past victories. No matter how small the past testimony is, simply rehearse. That is how faith grows. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 2:13, Ephesians 5:20

GOLDEN NUGGET: Don’t wail about what is wrong. Simply rehearse past victories.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for my life. I thank you for the far that you have brought me and to the places you are taking me. You have been faithful and true. You never failed me. Even as I look to the future, I know that nothing can move me because I have you. You helped me before, you will help me gain. You saved me before, you will save me again. My present is secure. My future is not a mystery. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
