"The revelation of your words brings light and gives understanding to the inexperienced." Psalm 119:130 CSB
And you know what? What's true in running is true in life... no matter how hard you and I train or prepare, we will all fail at one time or another. And while a mature Christian may view defeat as a learning experience and a chance to grow, it might totally devastate a Christian fresh to the faith and cause them to fall away. So then, knowing that the revelation of God's "words brings light and gives understanding to the inexperienced," shouldn't we be looking for opportunities to help and encourage new believers by sharing the truth of the Gospel? Of course we should!
So in the words of Roy T. Bennett, "Be an Encourager: When you encourage others, you boost their self-esteem, enhance their self-confidence, make them work harder, lift their spirits and make them successful in their endeavors. Encouragement goes straight to the heart and is always available. Be an encourager. Always.”
Heavenly Father, thank You for the unexplainable joy that You give to your believers. Help us to spread that joy and the reason that we can smile in the midst of trying circumstances to others. Help us to be encouragers in a world that so desperately needs them. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
Grace got you - Mercy Me
