Weekly Devotional- Week 16, 2006 - Helping Others

 

Scripture: The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. 

-Proverbs 11:25 (The Message)

 

Application:  Think about those people in your life who have helped you through hard times.  What about those who have been there for you in the good times?  I know in my life, I am extremely grateful to have friends and family who truly care for me and are there to help when I need them.  Often though, I need to remind myself to be there for them.  It is when I help others, that I find I am truly happy.  I think God does this to remind me to be ready and willing to help others.  God wants us to be happy and have wonderfully blessed lives, but He also wants us to remember others in their time of need.  Who can you help this week?

 

Quote: In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.  Flora Edwards

Prayer: Dear God, thank You for all that You do for me and for those who have helped me through the good times and the hard times. Please show me how I can be of service to others.  Amen
