Encouraging Others


PM#0504
Judges 5, Heb 3:13

Have you ever felt like friends abandon you at times?  I believe all of us would have to answer yes to that question.

Many may recall needing help with a dream.

In Judges chapter 5 we have accounts of some of the tribes of Israel not answering a call from the Lord to join in battle.  Read that chapter and ask—are we like that when it comes to helping a friend pursue a vision that they have from the Lord?

That is a deep question, and for many of us, we may not want to answer it.  If we find ourselves in that situation, own up to it, and ask the Lord for forgiveness, then take steps to start helping others.  The Bible does say to encourage one another daily.  Heb 3:13.

Consider this prayer:  Father I have not encouraged others. I ask for forgiveness and your help to encourage others starting today.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
