Encouragement: A Command from the Lord

"Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it." - Deuteronomy 1:38

The Lord commanded Moses to encourage Joshua. He did not command the angels to do this. God's servants, God's children, should encourage one another. God's Word commands the same to all His children. " Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as also you are doing. " (1 Thessalonians 5:11) He who does God's work should encourage those doing the same work. He who is encouraged by God should encourage others. Those who have doubts should be encouraged with the promises of God; those who are discouraged should be cheered with words of hope. Those who are weary should be encouraged by the Word of God to gain strength to continue the journey. Those who fear must be encouraged by the Word of God to be filled with faith.

Encouragement should be our daily work.
