“Seek To Encourage”
By Zach Wood
Psalm 34:12-14
This past Sunday, I had a message about how it’s good for us
to consider the lessons we have learned through the years and in the past year
as we look into a new year. It’s good
for us to take some inventory of things we’ve done great and maybe other things
we haven’t done so good and ask God to give us strength to be better servants
for His Kingdom.
None of us have the intention of speaking discouragement to
others. However, the enemy works in very
sly ways to get us to be unloving in the ways we communicate with others. That’s the last thing any of us wants to
do. It’s important for us to seek God
all through the day asking Him to guide our words, especially through stressful
and frustrating times. Those are the
times when it’s easy to let words fly and say things we don’t mean and end up
hurting others.
Seek to encourage your spouse.
Seek to encourage your kids.
Seek to encourage your co-workers.
Seek to encourage your friends.
Seek to encourage your extended family.
Who can you seek to encourage today and the days that follow
from here?
As we embark this New Year, ask God for strength each day to
be encouraging to others in any opportunity.
May we all be encouraging through the words we share with others so they
may see and come to know better the awesome God we serve!
