Note to self.. and perhaps to those who like to eavesdrop: Pray for ALL you want, but MOVE in your prayer life – from “want that” to “close relationship.” It’s true that sometimes the greatest blessing today.. is that of “unanswered prayer” (God answers every prayer with a “No” [when it’s not good at this time for you or others], a “Wait” [probably wants to do more than asked], or a “Yes” [He really delights to bless His kids]). Stay bless-able, in His will.
Encourage yourself in the Lord.... then others too. Get back, Jack, 'get back to where you once belonged" as the Beatles used to sing.
He was all alone and felt kinda down. Bad circumstances. What did he do..stay that way? Stay focused on the bad circumstances instead of on the Lord. Nope.
The Bible says, "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God." 1 Samuel 30:6 #Note2Self
Got some pet-sin in your life? Admit it and quit it. Tell on yourself to the right Person. U-turn and trust Jesus.
Do you miss your close walk with the Lord or fellowship with growing believers at church? The Bible tells us that sin is fun for a season, but then... you know. Consequences and all.

Sure encourage in the right direction, you and others -- please, all get home before dark, peeps.
Be and stay bless-able, in God's will. You're either in or out today. In Christ, or out in the cold -- live in Him.
