LET US ENCOURAGE OURSELVES IN THE LORD

David was greatly distressed;
For the men spoke of stoning him,
Because the soul of them all was bitterly grieved,
Each man for his sons and daughters;
BUT DAVID ENCOURAGED AND STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN THE LORD.
(1 Samuel 30:6, AMP)

When we are in distress, the very best thing that we can do,
And sometimes the only thing we can do,
Is to Encourage ourselves in the Lord.
Reciting encouraging Scriptures to our selves;
Preaching to ourselves;
Remembering that our God is in Complete Control
And that we belong to Him, the Almighty One.
This is what David did in his time of distress.

I love You fervently and devotedly,
O Lord my Strength.
The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer;
My God, my Keen and Firm Strength
In Whom I will Trust and take Refuge,
My Shield, and the Horn of my Salvation, my High Tower.

I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be Praised;
So shall I be Saved from my Enemies. [Rev. 5:12.]
(Psalm 18:1-3, AMP)

Wait and Hope for and Expect the Lord;
Be Brave and of Good Courage,
And let your heart be Stout and Enduring.
Yes, wait and Hope for and Expect the Lord.
(Psalm 27:14, AMP)

Be Strong and let your heart take Courage,
All you who wait and Hope for and Expect the Lord!
(Psalm 31:24, AMP)

For You are my Hope; O Lord God,
You are my Trust from my youth and the Source of my Confidence.
(Psalm 71:5, AMP)

I Cried out of my Distress to the Lord and He heard me;
Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, and Your heard my voice.
[Ps. 120:1, 130:1; 142:1; Lam. 3:55-58.]
(Jonah 2:2, AMP)

The Lord always hears; always looks out for our best interest;
Always looks out for our Eternal Interest.
When our Faith, Hope and Trust are in Him

We are Eternally Secure.
