Divine Encouragement!
"You have forgotten the divine word of
encouragement which is addressed
to you."
Hebrews 12: 5
What’s encouragement? Dr. Joel Wong at Indiana University in
Bloomington defines encouragement as “the affirmations people
communicate to others, typically through the use of language, to
enhance motivation within the context of realizing a potential or
addressing a challenging situation.”
That’s what our Lord does for us! He gives us the affirmations
we need by using the words of Scripture to keep us motivated
and helps us fulfill potential and address challenging situations.
A day without Scripture is a day when we’re
in danger of forgetting the divine Word of
encouragement addressed to us.
The Lord has certain verses from the Bible to impart afresh
into our minds every hour of every day. The Bible is the most
encouraging book ever penned. It hums with encouragement
like an electrical factory.
His Word encourages us to continue to follow Him.
Make sure to keep your Bible open. Keep your heart
open to constant doses of divine encouragement.
And spread it to others!
"We owe everything to encouragement—
nothing to bitter cynicism."
Joseph Parker
