“David encouraged himself in the Lord” (1 Samuel 30:6).
In a moment of profound distress after his city was raided and his family taken captive, David chose to find strength and encouragement in the Lord, not in his circumstances or in his men. He actively turned to the Lord for guidance and strength, which enabled him to lead his men, pursue the attackers, and ultimately recover all that was lost.
What will encouraging yourself in the Lord look like for you in this season?
Amidst your life changing circumstances in this season, where is your focus and faith?
- Pray that your present challenges and obstacles will not be a distraction, but an opportunity for your spiritual formation.
- Pray for strength, guidance, discernment and patience.
May the Lord’s grace and favour rest on you and all your loved ones, as you put your trust and confidence in Him.
The Lord is on your side, every blessing.
