Talking to myself...

Psalm 42:11. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why are you so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
     Have you ever been discouraged and alone? In the hospital and no one visits? Lost your job, your friends, your spouse or your position and no one calls? What can you do when your bleeding but all alone? David said this is a good time to talk to yourself. This is where I have been living recently when my best friend reminded me that we can encourage ourselves. Most of us spend too long reminding ourselves why we should be discouraged but instead David spoke directly to his own soul. This was the same guy that took on a giant named Goliath and won. John wrote that "greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world." When you are living in partnership with God Himself then there is no reason to be discouraged or disturbed. So if you are facing discouraging circumstances it may be time for you to start talking to yourself.
 Rom.8:32-37 says that we are more than conquerors in Christ. Start talking to yourself today.
