BE ENCOURAGED< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Jeremiah 17

In looking back to where you have started and where you are, can you make a claim to have sincerely embarked and engaged yourself in doing good and not evil? It can never be too much in doing what is good; neither can it be too late to reap the fruitfulness of doing good. Be encouraged if you have been doing good in dealing with a wicked and desperate world. Jeremiah 17:9-10, ÒThe heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.Ó The two verses should speak to your encouragement. The word that is directly from God has never failed and He will never be late in carrying out His word. Be encouraged if all that you are doing is sincere to the glory of God and with no hidden agenda for self glorification. In your meditation, add the word of Jeremiah 32:19, ÒYou are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.Ó He that gives eyes and ears does have eyes to see and ears to hear. Let nothing derail you from doing what you are doing that is bringing glory to GodÕs name. There is nothing under heaven or earth that is too difficult for Him to do. All your mockery will be converted into miracle. You have to get up on your mind and be encouraged and know that you will be given according to the fruit of your doings. Do not bother nor wonder how long it will take, but be assured that it will not be long. Be encouraged and not be discouraged.
