I like encouragement. I need encouragement. Not platitudes like, "It will all turn out OK in the end," but something substantial, something even challenging, something hopeful a word of encouragement like Levison describes in the book of Acts. In fact, I would say that encouragement is essential for us to flourish. All of us suffer doubts about our abilities or the path that we are on, and there is nothing like a good word of encouragement to set us straight, to increase our confidence. The word of encouragement may actually lead us to take a different path. What we learn from today's devotion is that the Holy Spirit is in the business of encouragement.
