Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Drink a few extra sips if you are in need of
encouragement!
Some mornings we need extra encouragement,
don’t we? Maybe we’re dreading an
appointment or have such a busy day planned that we don’t know how we’re going
to get it all done. Many days we wake up
tired and don’t have the energy to face the day cheerfully. How do we make it
through days like that? Especially when we are feeling DIScouraged!
We need to
do as David did in 1 Samuel 30. Verse 6 says: “David encouraged himself in the
Lord his God.” Can we really encourage
ourselves? Yes, we can!
- First of all we have to get our heads on straight and start thinking about all our blessings instead of all the negatives.
- Remember that if we’ve have accepted Jesus into our life, He has promised never to leave us or forsake us!
- Read the Scriptures EVERY day! This is especially important when we feel “discouraged”. You’ll be surprised at how many verses you’ll find in which God speaks words of encouragement to YOUR heart.
- Stop listening to and repeating the lies of the enemy; instead concentrate on the promises of God!
- Meditate on His goodness!
- Pray about everything!
When you do these things, you’ll be “encouraging yourself in the
Lord”! Don’t wait for someone else to
come along with the solution to your discouragement. Determine to Be JOYFUL
now!
Drink that
Joy Juice faithfully as you encourage yourself and others in the Lord!
