To encourage someone in the midst of a trial is to greet them with the embrace of Jesus

Years later, when it mattered most, Joshua was able to give encouragement to others because he had the courage of God coursing through him. 

Courage is the presence of Jesus. Jesus is all the courage of God in a human person.

We are going to have to learn a way of approach to God and God’s Word that is constitutionally for God and not for ourselves. 

The Word of God is our Script. But we are not just memorizing lines, we are learning a character—Jesus.

The biblical practice of meditation is about filling one’s mind—with the Word of God. 

The Word of God accomplishes the Work of God every single time.

It’s time to stop trying to do things for Jesus. It’s time to become the kind of people in whom Jesus is pleased to dwell and through whom he is delighted to work.

Encouragement, in the biblical sense of the term, is never “You can do it!” It is always, “God will do it.”

In order to run and now grow weary and to walk and not faint we must be regularly lifted up out of the woods of our reality onto the eagles wings of the Holy Spirit.

Not a day of your past has been wasted. Everything is being gathered up and carried forward into the way ahead.

To encourage is to stand in the stead and agency of Jesus, participating in the work of the Holy Spirit, to minister grace to human beings.
