My prayer for you for today is that we will share in each
other’s burdens and that we will not let a fellow believer be overcome by sin,
but that we will help them and pray for them, in Jesus Name.
Galatians
6:1-3
Dear
brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are
godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And
be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each
other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you
are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not
that important.
The Guardian. I loved the movie “The Guardian” with
Kevin Costner as this Coast Guard rescue swimmer. What really stood out is that
no matter how severe the storm at sea is, the rescue swimmer will jump in this
almost impossible situation to rescue people. Their commitment and passion for
what they do is almost unbelievable and above that the burden of those they
were not able to rescue lies deep within the hearts of these men of steel. Would
you jump into a storm to rescue someone you do not know?
In life many of our fellow believers will be attacked by
the enemy and overcome by sin. The devil will bring storms into their lives to
throw them overboard into an ocean of sin. What will happen to them, and who
will rescue them? God has a team of rescue swimmers readily available and you
are one of them. You will have to jump into that ocean with them and pull them
out, but be careful that their frantic need for help will not pull you under
with them. We should share in each other’s burdens. I believe as I said before,
the enemy wants you to try and stand alone, because then you are vulnerable. If
we stand together we will be stronger, if we pray for each other we will not slip
into temptation so easily, if we combine our efforts to defeat satan we will be
more successful.
Don’t miss the opportunity to help someone today, and don’t
be foolish in not accepting help from someone. We are all facing different
storms at different times in our lives: “If
you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself.
You are not that important.”
My prayers are with you all dear friends of Jesus. I pray
that God will intervene in whatever struggles you are facing at the moment and
that you will be rescued from this storm, pulled out of the ocean into a place
of safety.
Have a great day, God’s rescue swimmer. You are a
Christian of steel, you are a “Guardian”!
Cheers
