JONATHAN: THE POWERFUL ENCOURAGER

1 Samuel 23:16 New King James Version
16 Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in the woods and [a]strengthened his hand in God.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
No matter how many times I read this particular passage of scripture, I get the same wonderful message from it. I see the powerful encouragement that Jonathan gives to David when he needs it most, and I pray I can be that way. I thought about the times in which I've been encouraged by God through others, whether it's somebody just saying something encouraging to me, or doing something like meeting I need that I don't even say anything about, and I can't help but be so thankful for these encouragers in my life.

I think that's why this morning scripture really made my heart REJOICE, so I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will inspire you, and motivate you to want to be an encouragement to others. God has allowed me to do a great deal of vlogs on this issue, but this one is important to me, because it features a person that's one of my favorite people in the bible, and that's Jonathan. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about this precious encourager! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and i pray that they will inspire and motivate you to want to be an encourager.

Who do you know who needs encouragement?

How might you humbly serve them today?

Do you know someone right now, in particular, a fellow believer that needs encouragement? Is there someone in your life that's struggling with a particular issue, problem, or situation, and could use your encouragement to strengthen them, especially right now? If so, ask God to give you the words to speak to that person, and don't be afraid to speak those words of encouragement to them. Remember, as James Banks states so very well, “All around us are people who need encouragement. God will help us help them as we humble ourselves before Him and ask Him to love them through us. Be like Jonathan, and don't be afraid to share that gift of encouragement today!

SO, UNTIL TUESDAY MY FRIENDS:

HAVE A SWEET, TRANQUIL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
