Yesterday we talked about how the Psalmist spoke to himself to lift up his own soul. Today I want to touch on how we can encourage each other.
Ever notice when we see a good movie, or go to a bike show, or simply enjoy an experience, we have a natural desire to share? If Facebook teaches us anything, it's that people naturally want to share their experiences. Although sometimes I'd like to see a "TMI" button on Facebook! But that's another story...
Paul says in Ephesians chapter 5:18-19 (NIV)
"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit."
There is power in that! This past week at Refuel a brother shared a Christian rock song that had been going around in his head all day. I asked him to send it to me and he posted it on my Facebook page. What blessed him first, then blessed me.
Think about that, next time a song, scripture, or teaching from a sermon touches you. Take a moment, write it down so that when the time comes, you can share it with others.
That is one way we can build each other up!
Happy Friday!
