ALL ABOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
Jeremiah 17

As a believer, you are not immune from seeing your good work turned to worse before man. However, a good deed that is true and genuine before God cannot be altered for worse. It is also important to know that challenges will come, affliction will prevail but deliverance is certain. Psalm 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.” God is faithful to His Word. God meant what He said and He will do all that He has promised to do. Why not stick to His word in the pages of the scripture. The Word of God is true and they are encouraging to those that will take heed to it. 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, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; who can know it? 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.” These two verses speak to encourage you. 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, “You 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.” He that has eyes and ears does have eyes to see and ears to hear. Let nothing or no one stop you from doing what will bring glory to God. 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 make up your mind and be encouraged and know that you will be rewarded according to the fruit of your good works. Do not think about or worry how long it will take, but rest assured that it won’t be long.

Prayer for today: O Lord my God, You are great in Zion and You are high above all the people. I ask that You open the eyes of my understanding to all that is good before You and let me not be a vessel of failure.
