Devotion of the day

Woke up early today, think have been trained by school that I can't sleep late anyway. So woke up and decided to do devotion which I havn't been doing for very long. (few days).
Pray for guidance and despair in me.

This is wat I read from Streams of Desserts. God answered my prayer.

They looked..and there was the glory of the LORD apperaing in the cloud (exodus 16:10)

The story goes:
You should get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of storm clouds. And once you have found it, continue to focus on it rahter than the dark gray of the center. Do not yield to discouragment no matter how severely stressed or surrounded by problems you may be. A discouraged sould is in a helpless state, being neither able to "stand against the devil's schemes" himself nor able to prevailed in prayer for others.
Flee every sympton of the deadly foe or discouragment as you would run from a snake. Never be slow to turn your back on it, unless you desire to eat the dust of biteer defeat
Search for specific promises of God, saying aloud of each one "this promise is mine". Then if you still experience feelings of doubt and discouragment, pour your heart out to God, asking him to rebuke the Adversary who is so mercilessly harrassing you.
The very instant you wholeheartedly turn away from every sympton of discouragment and lack of trust, the blessed Holy Spirit will reawaken your faith and breathe God's divine strength into your soul..Initially, may be unaware tat this is happening, but as you determine to shun every attack of even the tendency toward doubt and depression, you will see the powers of darkness being turned back.
All the miraculous attributes of the Godhead are marshaled on the side of even the weakerst believer who, in the name of Christ and in simple, childlike trust, yields himself to God and turns to HIm for help and guidance.
My sould be like a eagle, this is not its home, it must never lose it skyward look. I must keeep Faith, Hope, Courage and Christ.

Aren't they encouraging? I shall meditate on this. God give me strength and bless my Faith
I hope it is encouraging to my reader of my blog too.
