Have you had your JOY JUICE
today? Please encourage others to have
some!
It’s easy
for some people to encourage others because they have the “gift” of exhortation
given to them by God. All of us are not born with the “natural inclination”
toward being an encourager…and some of us truly are not gifted in that
area. BUT we should all try to learn to
encourage others.
Let’s look
into the Word of God to find some examples of
“encouragers”.
- Joseph learned the need for encouragement. He was not a natural encourager…and didn’t become one until God disciplined him into becoming one. We see examples of his encouragement in Genesis 49 when he not only forgave his brothers, but he encouraged them. Joseph ended up being an encouragement to the whole people of Israel.
- Sometimes God might call us to be an encouragement to someone by helping them fulfill God’s purpose in their life. Remember Aaron and Hur in Exodus 17? They held up Moses’ arms during battle. This story reminds us that sometimes GOD calls us to lift others up… to help them accomplish a specific task that God has anointed them for.
Who does God want you to “lift up” today? Be willing and available to be used by God to share His encouragement and JOY with others!
Today I am encouraging you to be an encouragement to someone by sharing God’s encouragement and JOY!
