Let's be a blessing!
“Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.”
Psalm 41:1
When ones heart has been made tender by the Holy Spirit, they will see through the eyes of the Lord Jesus. They will see others in their many plights not as problematic, but as those in need of a lift and not a push. I say ashamedly that the sarcasm that once spewed from my mouth was biting and often times followed by laughter that flowed from my wicked heart. Thank God for God’s Word that says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Sometimes we can lend a hand; make a purchase or lift our voice to the heavens on one’s behalf. We can send a card; make a call or take time to make a visit. We have always lived in a “me” world but I have found the best remedy for too much of me is looking around and tending to those in need. The Lord’s blessing will follow those who fill the void of the lonely and down trodden. God will be with us in our own times of trouble.
I pray that during this time of the year our hearts will be even broken for those who are despondent in spirit while dead in their trespasses and sins. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is soul saving salve to every such case. I pray that we will be sensitive to the Holy Spirits guidance when it comes to our brothers and sisters in Christ in their time of great need. The beauty of being a blessing is in the joy of being Christ like.
