Encourage Yourself: Words of Inspiration

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself . When you get bad news, don't stop praising God. Don't turn away from God. If anything, draw nearer to Him! You need Him. Don't just praise Him through the good but also lift His name up through the disappointments and setbacks. Turn that anger and sadness into energy to be used for the praises of the Lord. Through your praise you will be uplifted, reminded who is in control, and encouraged to endure through the trials. Lift up His name, for He is worthy! Give Him praise, for all things work together for your good! "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." ~Romans 8:28 Recommended song:  "Encourage Yourself" by Donald Lawrence ~Be Inspired~

When we read God's Word we are feeding our Spirit, the Holy Spirit which God gave us that resides inside our bodies. Consistently reading leads to understanding which leads to persistent God-like actions. By the practice of reading/studying God's Word, we strengthen our Spirit. This strength allows us to fight the necessary battles against the customs and deceptions of the world. When persuaded to fall, we remember His Word and overcome by using His Word. Our Father is our strength. His Word is our sword. Brothers and sisters: do not be misled, keep your Spirit fed.    ~Be Inspired~
