Greetings to all, as we thank God for making it to another "hump" day Wednesday, let us take this day to thank Him for our friends. People who are and have crossed our paths. Those who have encouraged us and have been with us through good and bad times. Amen
As we go from day to day, it doesn't take long for our enthusiasm to fade and for us to become discouraged, especially when we encounter criticism and opposition from others.
We've made it halfway through this week, and we must keep going and not give up. I thank God for the encouragement that I've already received this week. Encouragement helps others to keep going when the going is tough.
Even the strongest people get tired sometimes, and reliable friends need encouragement too! I'm encouraging each of us to give a friend in our life some encouragement or support today.
Pray and ask God to strengthen someone who appears to be strong or have it all together.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NLT2)
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.
10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.
Isaiah 40:31 (GW)
31 Yet, the strength of those who wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired.
Lesson: Having friends give us the strength to help us break through discouragement when things are not going as expected.
If you're reading this and is feeling discouraged because you find yourself planting much but harvesting little.
Keep going, and don't give up. You have what it takes; God got you, and "You got this."
