A Promise For You From Bible Promises:
Topic: Each One For Himself [07/05/2017]
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Romans 15:3. Read: Gal 6:1-10
As the world gets tougher each passing day, many begin to harden their hearts against the needs of others and even the needs of their family members. They try to move into the shell of protecting their own lives and that of their immediate family members. Many people want to solve all the problems in their family before they attend to others but they fail to understand that as long as life exist, solving problems continues. From the experience of Job, he has this advice for such people. “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble”. Job 14:1. And the preacher said, those who are excluded from the troubles of this world are those who are dead and more than them are those who are not yet even born into this world . Ecc 4:2-3. We now live in a world where every man is for himself, everyone wants to be full before attending to others. We must as christians be good examples of Jesus to this world. If Jesus had pleased Himself, He wouldn’t have gone to the cross but He (in the midst of the pain) said, not my will, thine, be done. Lk 22:42
Therefore, it takes wisdom to care for your family and others who may be in need of your help. Don’t forget, whatever help you give to others is actually given to God and in the time of your own needs, God Himself will help you. Pro 19:17, Matt 25:31-40.
