“ENJOY OR ENCOURAGE!”
Psalm 64:5-6
Psalm 64:5-6
“They encourage themselves in an evil matter; they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, ‘Who will see them?’ They devise iniquities: ‘We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.”
Life is filled with choices. We can choose to get up when the alarm sounds or we can roll over and go back to sleep. We can smile or we can frown. We can work or we can play. We can add to that list on and on, but the reality is that we have choices that are set before us at all times.
When we carefully evaluate the activities of our day, I fear that most of the time we focus more upon the things that satisfy us than the things that serve others. In choosing today’s title, "Enjoy Or Encourage," I wanted to highlight the choices we make of either serving ourselves or serving others.
The Psalmist uses the word "encourage" here, but in actuality it’s speaking more of focusing upon one’s own enjoyment or the things that are self-centered. Later on in this same chapter he gives us another aspect. Verse 10 says: “The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.” What will you choose today -- to enjoy or to encourage?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
