Stay Encouraged!

Campmeeting season, for most of us, is coming to a close. I know for my part, I've been to quite a few campmeetings and have really been blessed. Sometimes, though, after a meeting, life becomes a lot harder, and the enemy seems to be even more oppressive. Psalm 38:19 says "But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied." Not only will the enemy fight harder, but we might receive even more flack from the world for living righteously. People will see our lives, and test our reliance on God. But, we don't fight alone. Psalm 46:1 says "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." If we stay consecrated to God, He'll be there to fight for us and give us strength to face the world. I hope this is an encouragement to everyone. I know a lot of people will be going back to school (or already have). Stay encouraged, and keep fighting! :)
