Be Encouraged Today

When you go through a transition or a tough time in life, look for God's encouragement. Times can be difficult. Be encouraged today. Through it all, God is always working for your good as His child. He plans ahead for every event in your life, that His good purpose may be fulfilled.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). Do you love God? Do you want His purpose fulfilled in your life? Do you believe He works in all things for your good? Be encouraged today. Believe God's good word.

Be encouraged today, because God's providence works for your good. God delights to give you a word of encouragement. In your darkest night of discouragement, your heavenly Father will give you needed encouragement. It may come through a promise from Scripture. He may use the words of a song or hymn. He may send someone to encourage you at just the right time.

We all need encouragement. Others need your encouragement. Ask God to use you to encourage others. He will. Then you can say, "I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me" (Romans 1:12). Call someone with a word of encouragement. Write a note of encouragement to someone going through tough times. Be encouraged today to encourage others.
