For many years I went to basketball games at the high school. Not because my daughters played basketball, but because they were on the cheerleading squad. A cheerleader is an encourager; one who tries to set the tone for the team and get them back on track.
We all need encouragement; God has provided His word to get us back on track, “Heap it up, “Heap it up! Prepare the way, Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.” Isaiah 57:14

“For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.” Isaiah 66:2
