Encourage yourself!

Good morning!

I was listening to the radio while driving back from work the other day and a song came on that I had to put on repeat! Some of you may know it, but it says sometimes you have to encourage yourself and sometimes you have to speak victory during the test, no matter how you feel...
This song just blessed me!

Then I thought about a friend who is having problems in their marriage and life. At a time like this when the biblical portrait of marriage is absolutely under attack, it is highly crucial that you find yourself 1. Rooted in God and 2. Speak life into your situation and into your marriage.

Psalm 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

It's not that God is a genie and you just have to say a few words and then poof, insta-miracle. No. But when you truly line yourself up with the Word of God your thoughts begin to line up with the will of God. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

What you say, becomes professy for your life. Speak over yourself positive and encouraging words. Even though things look bleek and you don't know which way to turn, look up your eyes to hills from which comes your help and know that, trials come only to make us strong and increase our faith. It's what you do with the time you have that matters. So speak life and love, know that God loves you and only wants the best for you.

God bless you all and be encouraged!
