How To Be
Encouraged!
"Command Joshua, and encourage him
and strengthen him; for he shall go over
before this people, and he shall cause them
to inherit the land which you will see."
Deuteronomy 3: 28
Consider what discourages you: circumstances,
relationships, finances, or health concerns. All of
these are good reasons to seek encouragement.
What if God asked you to lead more than a million
folks in a strange, new homeland filled with
many
enemies who didn’t want you there. Would you
seek encouragement?
God knew Joshua, a man chosen to settle the
Hebrews in Canaan, required
encouragement.
That’s why He told Moses to “encourage Joshua
and strengthen him” for that task that lay ahead.
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your
mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night.
For then you will make your way prosperous....
Be strong and of good courage” (Joshua 1:8-9).
Looking to be encouraged today?
Turn first to God’s Word and all
its
“great and precious promises”
(2 Peter 1:4). And be encouraged!
"Only engrossment with God can
maintain perpetual spiritual
enthusiasm."
