The word 'dismayed' implies being 'torn down by fear' and 'falling apart.' Today satan wants to tear you down by robbing you of your peace, your joy and your confidence. He will keep pouring on the pressure in hopes that will fall apart
That's why God told Joshua to bring each king out of
the cave and deal with him decisively by standing on his neck and then
hanging him on a tree. Satan works through our five senses but God has
given us a sixth sense: faith.
The Bible says, 'We walk by faith, not by sight' (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith says, 'In spite of what I see, in spite of what I hear, in spite of what I feel, in spite of what I taste, in spite of what I smell, I believe everything's going to be all right because God is with me.' Your senses, which are susceptible to all that's going on around you, are faith-killers. And unless you put them under your foot they will steal your dream, your confidence and everything else God has promised you. Emotions are problem-driven, but faith is purpose-driven. If you allow your emotions to rule your life you will be up one minute and down the next. You say, 'But I thought life is supposed to be an up and down experience.' No, God's plan for you is to get down on your knees to pray, then get up in faith and do what He has told you to do.
