 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Psalm 68:3

It's encouraging to realize that God has helped us through another week, sometimes in little ways.  What did God use to keep you going?  Did He let you know He was there? Speak to you through the Word? Send someone to help at just the right moment?  Here are 3 things which encouraged me this week:

• One of my daughter's friends spent the night and spread sunshine through our home with her pleasant and cheerful ways.
• A real-life friend who also blogs showed genuine pleasure in just being with me, sharing conversation over lunch.  When she got home, she remembered something I'd said and sent a follow-up email with information she thought might help me.
• A radio broadcast was exactly what I needed to hear.  God used the Scriptures shared in the radio Bible Study to speak directly to my heart.  I rarely have the radio on, and almost never at that time of day, but the Holy Spirit prompted me to be in that place at that time so I could hear that message.

The quiet everyday promptings and interventions of the Holy Spirit often go unnoticed or unrecognized.  What "little" encouragements did God send your way this past week?

Have you ever noticed how many times in His Word God says something like, "Let the righteous be glad!"  Glad is a word which has lost much of its meaning, so I looked up the definition:

Here's what I found "Glad" means:

a : experiencing pleasure, joy, or delight : made happy

b : made pleased, satisfied, or grateful —often used with "of" (e.g. "glad of your help")

c : very willing

Gladness isn't something we can conjure up, but we're "made" glad in the Lord. So, God is saying:

• Be "experiencing pleasure, joy, or delight" in Me.
• Be "made happy" in Me.
• Be "made pleased" in Me.  Be "satisfied" with Me.  Be "grateful" to Me.
• (See Ps. 32:11)

Are you glad? Are you great? Or are you "fine"?

Often when asked how we are, we automatically answer, "Fine." 

But fine may mean "Feeling In Need of Encouragement"!

Change your

F.I.N.E.

To
G.R.E.A.T.!
Glad Rejoicing Encouraged And Thankful!

God always enables us to do what His Word says.  He often sends people to help us!  That's what I've found in you:  a great-big-wonderful Encouragement with a capital "E"!

Join me, and spread the word!
