As bitter as this world is, it is not as bitter as heaven is sweet. Heaven is so sweet that when we taste it, the bitternes of this world is swallowed up in its glory. The weightiness of heaven makes the affliction of today light.

It is easy to get dismayed. Spiritual depression is common among God's faithful people. We must learn to be led by what is true rather than what we feel so that what we feel will be defined by what is true. This allows us to live out God's commands.

God blesses His people who are faithful to live out His word. The one who lives by the word of God is like a tree planted by streams of living water – Psalm 1.

The way to God's blessing is through consistent faith. A lack of obedience is a lack of concentrated faith. We must learn to be consistent.

God calls us to be strong and courageous, not because we are, but because He is and we are with Him.
