ENCOURAGE YOURSELF!

1 Samuel 30:6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.


SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF! WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DON'T SUPPORT YOU, DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU, DON'T AGREE WITH YOU, TURN AGAINST YOU, TALK ABOUT YOU, SLANDER YR NAME, MISTREAT YOU! WHEN ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE AND YOU CAN'T SEEM TO FIND YOUR WAY! WHEN YOUR CHILDREN TAKING YOU THROUGH ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS AND YOU WONDER WHEN IT WILL TURN AROUND FOR THE GOOD! WHEN THE DOCTOR GIVES YOU A BAD REPORT AND YOU HAVE TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT! SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD! YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE THAT LOVE THE LORD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE, YOU HAVE TO ENCOURAGE YRSLF AND KNOW THAT NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP AGAINST YOU GOD SHALL CONDEMN, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT GOD KNOWS THE PLANS THAT HE HAS FOR YOU TO DO GOOD AND NOT EVIL! YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS BUT GOD WILL DELIVER THEM FROM THEM ALL. YOU HAVE TO TELL THE DEVIL THAT GOD IS FOR YOU AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS AGAINST YOU! YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT GREAT IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD! YOU GOT TO SPEAK OVER YOUR LIFE AND SAY I WILL MAKE IT, I SHALL NOT DIE BUT LIVE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD! 
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD IN ALL THAT YOU GO THROUGH! BLESSINGS! EJB
