Not a Pep Talk
by PamFord Davis

What’s your problem? Cheer up.

That’s easier said than done; right?

Where is that silver lining; that light at the end of the tunnel?

The psalmist found answers to the questions that he was seeking.

“Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God (Psalm 42:11 NASB).”

He didn’t need a pep talk; he needed assurance of God’s presence and peace.

“O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your dwelling places.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God ( Psalm 43:3-5 NASB).”

Do not despair; God cares.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9 NASB).”
