Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-20

Philippians 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

There is so much we can get caught up in in our own lives that we can totally miss out on helping someone that is in dire need.

I know that it’s easy. We each have our own dealings, situations, etc. But, there is one thing that I am reminded of and I would like to remind each person of today.

When I was in a season of my life where so much was hitting me, from the left and from the right, the one thing I remember is this; When I helped someone else instead of sitting and pondering on my own mess, it gave me strength.

I guess it took my mind off myself, my own problems. And by doing so, it made me realize that I’m not alone.

When we realize that we are not alone, that others are going through things, and some are even worse than what we are facing, it helps us in some way. No one wants to go through things alone. No one.

Sitting there worrying was not going to take it away. Changes I thought I could make would not touch it or fix it fast enough. But what helped me the most was getting up and out and helping others. This gets my mind in a different place and demonstrates my trust in God!

Once I settled down, trusted God, and began to help others, He began to move. Things began to change, and I could breathe again.

You might say, “you weren’t breathing?”. I was so stressed out from my thoughts, that my breathing was stressed. It was tight from anxiety, worry and lack of sleep.

We cannot go through this life not breathing fully. If we have to let go in order to breathe again, then LET go.

Get out there and help someone and trust God with our concerns. He will turn it around. Sow seeds of HELP when we are in dire need ourselves. God will see our labor of love and He will move!

Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Put others before ourselves. Amen.
