ENCOURAGING
Today's reading: Acts 19-20

"Along the way, he encouraged the believers in all the towns he passed through..." Acts 20:2 NLT

I can imagine Paul in almost a different church every Sabbath.

New faces. Varying styles of worship. Different personalities.

And he encouraged in every one.

Makes me think about my plans for tomorrow.

I want to worship in song.

I want to hear God's Word proclaimed.

I want to pray with my Christian brothers and sisters.

I want to fellowship with other believers.

I want to gather as a united front against our enemy, satan.

But encourage?

Never really thought about it that way, but I want to do it.

And I don't know if it comes from an unselfish heart or not. You see when you encourage another, you are encouraged.
