2nd Chronicles 35:2. “And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord,”
ENCOURAGED THEM. What a day that was! Those there will not forget The orderly worship and the rejoicing that it brought. What an impression there was made! What humbling of hearts! As the mind and will of God the people sought.
The king made great provision. There was plenty there for all! The offerings for the Passover were well prepared. Everyone who came had food there in abundance As that wonderful Passover they all shared.
One man who will encourage those who are around him, Can make a greater difference than he thinks. If he encourages those responsible to each do his part – Each person soon rises to his work like a chain with links.
Those who have much will give, if they see the need is there And provision is made from willing hearts. Down the line goes blessing as everyone does share In the benefits that grace itself imparts.
There may not be much one can do that seems to have effect – But encouragement is available to all To pass on to those who labor in the harvest fields today And assure them on their behalf to God we call.
Often there is some word that has come to you at night – That you feel can be a help to those who labor. Pass on that encouragement, it will help them in their fight Against the darkness that the world now seems to favor.
Some are watchmen and others are singers, others carry heavy loads; Each one given a task by their Supreme Lord. Encourage them with words and pass along some strength – That you yourself have gotten from God’s Word.
“Heavenly Father, we will be small today, but help me I pray to encourage in some way, those that are there. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
