Do you look to the Lord at all times and in all circumstances for your joy and strength, or do you seek others to encourage and comfort you?
When David could not rely on other people, he learned to dig deep within and find his strength from the Lord. The Bible says, ‘he encouraged himself in the Lord.’
When things are tough, we must find it within ourselves to encourage ourselves. We cannot look to others for the strength or joy only God can give (Psalms 46:1 & 43:4). When you can find no help from others, the Lord Himself is always there to give you strength. You must speak words of life to yourself like David did: David had a straight talk with himself and reminded himself to trust in God which gave him the confidence to praise God in spite of what he was going through.
