Appears 2 times in Scripture

Acts 27:9

By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,

Acts 27:22

But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.

When parainéō is spoken over you

Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what parainéō means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.

Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Acts 27:9 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.

Doxa, Engage God's Encouragement

God's encouragement is not only for the moment you first receive it. It's for the whole journey.
