2 Sam 22 is so encouraging.

I have been so encouraged by 2 Samuel 22 the past couple of days. I even told my husband this has got to be one of the best and most loaded Chapters in the whole Bible. (You can tell it blessed me.) Today I got my nuggets from verse 35 and 36. He trains my hands for battle, my arms can bend a bow of bronze (35). Thank you Lord for training me in what You want me to put my hands to in these next years of my life. While you are training me, I am becoming strong, strong enough to bend a bronze bow and fire arrows at the evil one who thinks I may be growing weak and tired, but no, on the other hand, I am waxing strong!!! Lord, You are good, and You are able and powerful, and I will put my trust in you for this strength You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great(36). Thank you Lord for your shield. I need it to protect my heart from every kind of defeat. I place it over my heart daily and I find victory over discouragement. Instead of acting on discouragement and walking through the day with that as my motivating force, I choose Your shield, which is VICTORY. Through You, I have courage and gain "heart"which is a much stronger and more positive force to motivate me and set the course of my day. It is all because "You stoop down to make me great." You love me so much that You meet me way down here where I live and You help me in every way. You identify with me in all my humanness. Let me stoop down when others are down low. You did it for me. You could have stayed high and exalted on Your throne. But You came down here to earth. You still meet me down here. Thank you Lord for lifting me up . Help me Lord to lift others up as you have done and always do for me.
