“Need Any Help?”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Need Any Help?”
“Do you need any help?” How often do you hear these words? If, and when you do hear them; “How does it make you feel?” What impression does these five words give you of the person asking? Personally, I see the person as one who is willing to share the load. I see a person who is thoughtful, kind, and considerate – a person, who in that moment, is living in the Spirit. The apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians about living in the Spirit.
“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” – Galatians 5:25 (KJV).
Characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit? “…love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” – Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV).
“God helps us through life.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
God has given us everything we need to navigate through life. We must use what God has given us in our everyday lives. I think it is very significant that the first attribute of the fruit of the Spirit is love because; “God is Love!”
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son.” – John 3:16 (KJV).
Faith, hope, and love are attributes of the Believer. 1 Corinthians 13:13 tells us that love is the greatest of these attributes.
Remain in Him – remain in His Word. Love – joy – peace will lead you to the other attributes: forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
When you hear the words; “Need any help?” respond with a “Yes!” We all need some type of help as we navigate through life because adversity (difficulties – misfortunes – trouble) know how to find you. It is a way of life. Stand on the promises of God during your troubles.
“Always know that life’s adversity will always come before life’s advancement.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
I know you’ve heard this before; “Pray your way through.” Pray your way through all your adversities, trouble, misfortunes. God is working on your behalf. God is getting ready to advance you. Pray. Wait on the Lord. Help is on the way! His Goodness and Mercy will sustain you.
