No discouragement

“So I say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be disturbed. For I know my God will break through for me.” Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise him all over again. Yes, he is my saving grace!”Psalms‬ ‭42‬:‭11‬ ‭TPT‬‬

This psalm was written by the sons of Korah. The Khorarites were the doorkeepers in the house of God. The write of this psalm, however, was away from the temple. He was struggling with depression and striving to encourage his soul.

Many will be here at one time or other. When a blow comes against you, unexpectedly, it can cause you to struggle. However, only God is the answer.

Yesterday my research colleague and I again presented ourselves to Tribhuvan University. This time we had a favourable response from the man we needed to see, but he also was of the opinion my colleague had a problem because she had taken a five year visa and not presented to school, even though the course was cancelled. He then turned to me and said, “I don’t believe you can do this research by yourself. The places you have chosen are too far away for our staff to monitor you. You are old and we will be responsible for your health if something goes wrong.”

We went away and had lunch and discussed what to do. The man in charge had called my housemate and spoken to her in length. He told me to go home and talk to my housemate and then return if I want. I would have to pay 90,000R and if not successful would not be reimbursed.

My colleague and I have determined to pray and seek God. May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done! My soul is not downcast as I know I have other things that God wants me to do. I will wait on Him! Amen!
