Perspective shift – Reach Out

If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small. Proverbs 24:10 (NKJV)

Everyone wants to think they're strong, at least until the test comes. It is in the testing phase that we discover our true strength. Sometimes we stand, sometimes we stumble, and sometimes we fall. The real test is how we respond. We are not built to be strong in every area, that is why we are encouraged to lean on other believers for support.

You must ask for help. God did not intend for you to live in lack, or isolation. We are the Body of Christ, reach past self, help others, be a blessing today. You may be an ear, a shoulder, or a hand another person is praying for. We are all essential parts of Christ’s body. I encourage you to use your skills and talents to be a blessing. Time, talents, and treasures are given to us to build up the church.

“And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly that he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith. For even as we have many members in one body, and all the member have not the same office.” Romans 12:2-4 American Standard Version (ASV)

Be a blessing and be someone else’s blessing today!
