ENCOURAGE
YOURSELF
Scripture
Reading: 1 Samuel 30:1-8
Devotional:- “Now David was
greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of
all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David
strengthened himself in the LORD his God” (V. 6)
One of the ways
to be stronger than the resistance of life is to learn the act of self
encouragement. This is a skills you must acquire. Simply because many times in
this world, people are individually busy and are all facing their own business.
So expecting people to always encourage you may not be realistic.
The reason
people get depressed is because they don't know how to encourage themselves
whenever they are alone. Having understood that courage is a product of right
and wise information we meditate upon, it then becomes easier to know where to
pick up courage when there is no one to give it to you.
David simply
stop weeping having remembered that the Lord was with Him and will always guide
him whenever he asked for His direction. So he called for the priest to ask
from God what he should do. The moment the word came from the Lord, David was
encouraged to pursue. You may need to set a time aside to be with God for two
or three days. Taking your Bible and other books (Proverbs 18:1) His guide will
give you courage to move on. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord,
let your strength always increase in me.
“SELF
ENCOURAGEMENT WILL ALWAYS DRIVE TO THE END”
