It is a condition of being overwhelmed by circumstances or threats, leading to a loss of courage or resolve. The Hebrew word often translated as "dismayed" is "chathath," which conveys the idea of being shattered or broken in spirit. Biblical Usage: The concept of being dismayed appears frequently in the Bible, often in contexts where God is encouraging His people to remain steadfast and courageous in the face of adversity. It is a common theme in both the Old and New Testaments, where believers are urged to trust in God's strength and presence rather than succumbing to fear. Old Testament References: 1. <a href="/deuteronomy/31-8.htm">Deuteronomy 31:8</a> : "The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or dismayed." This verse is part of Moses' encouragement to Joshua and the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. It emphasizes God's constant presence and support, urging them not to be dismayed by the challenges ahead. 2. <a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a> : "Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Here, God commands Joshua to lead with strength and courage, reinforcing the promise of His unwavering presence. 3. <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a> : "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness." This passage reassures the Israelites of God's support and strength, encouraging them not to be dismayed by their circumstances. New Testament References: While the specific term "dismayed" is less common in the New Testament, the concept is present in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, who often addressed fear and anxiety among believers. 1. <a href="/john/14-27.htm">John 14:27</a> : "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid." Jesus comforts His disciples, offering them peace and urging them not to be troubled or dismayed by His impending departure. 2. <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6-7</a> : "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Paul encourages believers to replace anxiety and dismay with prayer and trust in God's peace. Theological Significance: The repeated exhortation against being dismayed highlights a central biblical theme: reliance on God's presence and power. Believers are called to trust in God's promises and character, finding courage and strength in Him rather than in their own abilities or circumstances. This trust is rooted in the assurance of God's faithfulness and His commitment to His people. Practical Application: For Christians today, the biblical admonition not to be dismayed serves as a reminder to face life's challenges with faith and confidence in God's sovereignty. It encourages believers to seek God's guidance and strength through prayer and to rest in the peace that comes from knowing He is always with them.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Dismay.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/120.htm">120. athumeo -- to gather</a> ... be dismayed.
