ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD

DAVID WAS GREATLY DISTRESSED,FOR THE MEN SPOKE OF STONING HIM BECAUSE THE SOULS OF THEM ALL WERE BITTERLY GRIEVED,EACH MAN FOR HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS. BUT DAVID ENCOURAGE AND STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN THE LORD HIS GOD.(1 SAMUEL 30:6)——WHEN DAVID FOUND HIMSELF IN A SEEMINGLY HOPELESS SITUATION WITH NO ONE TO SUPPORT HIM,HE ENCOURAGE AND STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN THE LORD.LATER ON,THAT SITUATION WAS TOTALLY TURNED AROUND( 1 SAMUEL 30:1-20).IF YOU DO’N'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF,WHO IS GOING TO? GOD BELIEVES IN YOU,AND IT IS A GOOD THING TOO,OTHERWISE,YOU MIGHT NEVER MAKE ANY PROGESS.YOU CANNOT ALWAYS WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO COME ALONG AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE.CONFIDENCE IS SOMETHING YOU DECIDE TO HAVE.YOU LEARN ABOUT GOD—ABOUT HIS LOVE,HIS WAYS,AND HIS WORD-THEN ULTIMATELY YOU MUST DECIDE WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT.YOU WILL NOT GO FORWARD UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO BELIEVE IN GOD AND YOURSELF.——BE BLESSED
