How To Be An Encourager
Even though Paul was suffering a Roman imprisonment with no idea of its duration or his ultimate fate, his letter brought encouragement and joy to the church in Philippi (and brings to us).
How did he do that? How do you lift the hearts of follow believers who might be feeling discouraged and overwhelmed? We can follow Paul’s example in Philippians:
- Pray specific, detailed prayers for them, and let them know what you have prayed.
- No matter your own situation, you must stat positive, confident, hopeful, and encouraged in the Lord.
- Through the Word of Truth and God’s wisdom, help your friends see their circumstances from a wider perspective.
- Remind them of what they already know but may have forgotten : life is about today, not yesterday, and refocusing on Jesus Christ will make all the difference.
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Philippians 1:6
I want to encourage you today to commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall it to pass (Psalm 37:5).
Trust in the Lord with all your heart , and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
