Today’s Reading:
PSALM 78:1-31
DATE: MAY
3RD, 2017
TOPIC: HELP OTHERS
Scriptural
Reading: “And let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians
6:9
Being prosperous means a lot more than amassing wealth for
yourself; rather it involves being able to help others. The reason God has
blessed us is so that we can serve Him and bless others. This is very clear
when you read 2Corinthians 9:8-9. True
prosperity is looking out for opportunities to be a blessing to others. It is
finding joy and excitement in helping and extending love to others.
A truly
prosperous person is of a benevolent spirit; he or she is quick and ready to
give, and derives joy in helping others to become prosperous too. It makes no
difference if you have had unpleasant experiences in trying to help others.
Perhaps, you have helped someone become successful who eventually turned
against you; don’t become bitter. Keep up the good work, knowing that the Lord
will reward your labour of love Hebrews 6:10 says, “for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love,
which ye have shewed toward his name...” Moreover Jesus said, “But love ye your
enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again..” (Luke 6:35).
Remember, helping others is a gift; it is a unique ability from God “... if you have the gift of helping
others, do it with the strength that God supplies...” (1Peter 4:11CEV)
Prayer
My Father, by your
mercy, bless me indeed and make me a blessing to others.
