2 Chronicles 35:2

And encouraged them.

Cheer up, my comrades

The first thing is to get every man into his proper place; the next thing is for every man to have a good spirit in his present place so as to occupy it worthily. At this time it shall not be my business to arrange you, but assuming that it is well for you to keep where you are, my object shall be to encourage you to do your work for the Lord without’ being cast down. I will speak--

I. To those who think they can do nothing.

II. To workers who are laid aside.

III. To those who are much discouraged because they have but small talent.

IV. To workers who are under great difficulties.

V. To those who are not appreciated.

VI. To those who are discouraged because they have had so little success. (C. H. Spurgeon.)

Encouragement

“I never should have reached success,” Lord Beaconsfield once wrote, “had it not been for one woman who, in the darkest hour, believed I could win, and cheered me on.”
