Bible Verse of The Day – 5-31-25

Psalm 34:17 (NKJV) 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Many times, helping others can be an inconvenience for us.

It can take up our time, when we could be getting other things done. It can take away from something we might rather be doing.

It can even throw us off our routine or schedule, causing us to become aggravated or frustrated throughout the day.

We all feel this at times. We are not perfect, and we probably get frustrated even with ourselves for feeling like this.

But let’s face it; we are human and sometimes we just get tired. Then we start thinking, “let so and so do it, they never help, they always get out of it.”

I remember a time when I was in “helping mode season.” I love helping, but it was starting to get to me. I was getting tired and burned out from it all. So my attitude started to change and I was overwhelmed with the amount of help I was giving out.

I prayed to God, “please bring in some help for me. I’m tired and my attitude is changing toward the person/people that I’m helping, and I don’t want to take it out on them. It’s not their fault.”

He heard my cry and delivered me from that situation.

God showed me that it was OK to rest. It was OK to trust Him to bring in the right person or people to help.

And I learned a big lesson; don’t wait until you get to the point of feeling burned out.

Ask Him for help, and He will provide.

He is faithful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-20-18

Ephesians 4:2 (NKJV) 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love…

It’s so easy to get upset with someone when they make the same mistake over and over again.

We tend to forget about all the mistakes that we have made in the past. Why is it so easy to see others’ faults, but not pay attention to our own? When it comes to our own mistakes, we tend to brush them off like they’re no big deal.

This past year was a year of helping struggling people. It seemed like everywhere we looked, or everywhere we went, there were struggling people. One right after another.

Most of the struggling we saw in this particular season was with addictions and substance abuse, causing very major health issues for those people.

We truly wanted to help each one of them as much as we could. But, sometimes we found ourselves struggling, trying to keep up with it all.

We learned that no matter what kind of expression people have on their face, deep down they could be struggling in the worst way.

The question we had to ask ourselves is, “are we going to spend time judging them for their struggle or are we going to help them through it and bear it with them, in love?”.

As hard as it is, sometimes we want to sit down and really have a heart to heart talk with them and explain why they are going through the same thing over and over again. But one thing we have learned is that they may not be ready to hear it and doing that can push them away from us.

Most times struggling people just need a friend they can trust, someone who really loves them. And, in time, God may open the door to share His words with them that may make a difference in their lives.

But first things first; it takes “bearing in love with one another” before anything else can happen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-21-17

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.

Having the right intentions when doing things for others is the key in being a blessing and shining God’s light. Our motives have to be for the right reasons.

If we help someone out, do it because we really want to, not because we want to get something out of it. We shouldn’t do it because we feel pressured into it, but because we honestly and truly want to help them, with no strings attached.

Be careful when helping others that we don’t get stuck constantly being the one to pull them out of their troubles. God may use us for a season and then pull us away.

This isn’t to be mean or hurtful in any way. But seasons come and go, and sometimes the season for helping one person or situation may end so that the season for another may begin.

Having the right heart and discernment in what we do stems from knowing God, and getting close to Him.
