When you find yourself feeling down caused by stress, or other circumstances of life and you feel like there isn't anyone around to encourage you, encourage yourself!!! Don't wait for a word from someone, Encourage yourself in the Lord. What did David do when he was going through rejection and mutiny in 1Samuel 30:6, David encouraged himself in the Lord. We need do that and I am learning everyday it is best to encourage myself daily in the Lord. I am not saying encouragement from others is not valuable, it feels good to be encouraged by others. The key words are Encouragement in the Lord. His Word is Awesome!!! We Belong to the King, We are loved by God, He created us and has a Perfect Plan for everyone of us!!! Everyday we open our eyes we have been given the gift of life!!! We can choose to encourage ourselves in the Lord everyday and help others by encouraging them too!!!God Bless and Be encouraged in the Lord!
