Encourage Yourself

We live in a world of what I call "I need." We are consumed with what we need and from who. The greater of the two is from who. In 1 Samuel 30:6 the word teaches that David encouraged himself in the Lord. Having lost everything to the Amalekites now his army was talking of turning against him and killing him. But David encouraged (strengthened) himself in the Lord. Today if you are down and feel like nothing is going your way...encourage yourself. Don't wait till your favorite preacher comes on TV or till someone calls you with a encouraging word....the Bible teaches that we can encourage ourselves. Then we are better able to encourage others.
