Encourage Yourself

David encouraged himself in the Lord his God - 1Samuel 30:6.

            David and his men were greatly distressed when Amalekites burned Ziklog with fire and took away their wives, and their sons, and their daughters as captives. But David encouraged himself in the Lord. David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God - 1Samuel 30:3, 6.

              David encouraged himself in all situations by praising God, by waiting for God alone, by trusting God for help, by meditating God's Word and by calming and quieting his soul.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - Ephesians 6:18.

Pray together

Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them - Matthew 18:19–20.

Pray for all people

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - 1 Timothy 2:1. 

Pray according to His will

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us - 1 John 5:14.

Do Not Trust Riches

He who trusts in his riches will fall - Proverbs 11:28. 

Never set your heart on riches

                 We should never set our heart on riches as it is God who gives us wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them. If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them - Psalm 62:10. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also - Matthew 6:21. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil - this is a gift of God - Ecclesiastes 5:19.

Riches are uncertain       

                      Riches are uncertain and so instead of trusting the riches, let us trust God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy - 1Timothy 6:17.

Riches do not last forever 

                  Riches do not last forever and so let us store our treasures in heaven and not on earth. Riches do not last forever - Proverbs 27:24. Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions - Matthew 19:20,21. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal - Matthew 6:19-20.

                  Let us not trust our uncertain riches but instead trust God who gives us everything. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God - Luke 12:19-21. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5. 

Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.  And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God - Matthew 19:23,24.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us not trust our uncertain riches but always trust You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Great Sustainer

Behold, God is my Helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life - Psalm 54:4.

               God is our great Sustainer who sustains us, helps us and strengthens us as we cast all our cares upon Him.

When not afflicted, we tend to go astray, but God uses our afflictions to help us obey His Word - Psalm 119:67. If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction - Psalm 119:92. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word - Psalm 119:67.        

                  Let us thank God our great Sustainer who sustains us even to our old age. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.  Isaiah 46:4. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me - Psalm 51:12. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me - Psalm 3:5.                                                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our great Sustainer. We thank You for sustaining us in all our situations even to our old age. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
