STOP THAT PITY PARTY!

"David encouraged himself in the Lord his God". 1 Samuel 30: 6. When David and his men came back to their camp in Ziklag they found a sad and disheartening scene. The Amalekites had invaded the camp, taken the women and children captives, taken all their belongings and burned the camp with fire. My friend, it looks like everything lost and utter failure, right? But David encouraged himself. Many people are trying to tiptoe to the grave without ever having a failure. That isn't realistic. Statistics says unsuccessful people fail approximately 3 out of 5 times. Conversely, successful people fail 2 out of 5 times. That's not a lot of difference, isn't it? Hey, the talent God has for you must be discovered, developed and used by you. It could be something you already do or have or something never done and discovered. Your talent is what gives you joy and excitement. The gift that dominates your thoughts and which stimulates your energy. When you discover that and with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, BROTHER, YOU WILL BE ON CRUISE CONTROL. Don't fall into the dangerous trap of looking at anyone else's talent. GOD CREATED YOU TO BE ORIGINAL NOT A CARBON COPY OR DUPLICATE. Brother, Encourage yourself man! If you are grieving: God said "Never will I leave you or forsake you". Hebrews 13:5. If you are guilty: "Now, there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". Roman 8:1. Out of work: "In all things God works for the good of those who loved Him". Roman 8:26. Feel hopeless and no way of return: "Who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". John 3:16. Now: GET UP AND STOP THAT PITY PARTY, You are a champion in making and the LORD OF THE HOST IS WITH YOU! HE NEVER FAILS YOU!!!
