Encourage Others - Acts 27

S - Acts 27:³⁶ Then everyone was encouraged and began to eat.
O - Paul had just finished telling all 276 people on board the ship that no one would die even though the storm they were in was still raging.  After he did this he broke a piece of bread off and ate it.  The words and the food encouraged all of the people on board and gave them hope.
A - I also need to be an encouragement to people around me.  But this encouragement needs to words and more.  Words alone will only encourage so much.  Giving a person hope and encouraging words plus what they are desperate need for will bring more encouragement than just words alone.
P - God, I acknowledge you as the true source of encouragement and provider.  I pray that you would help me to be an encouragement to others and that I could provide them what they need as well.  Help me and my family today and provide and protect us.  I pray a blessing over us all in Jesus' name.
