There are times in our life when we need a boost of energy. It seems as though we do the same thing over and over. Wake up, get ready for work, work a days worth, go home, go to church, and then go to bed and do it all over again. Seems as though we are going no where.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Yesterday, I received a phone call from a pastor friend. A friend who I have been friends with for many years. It seems as though I have mentored him many times through the years. Many times in prayer, I would receive a word from the Lord, or I would hear this friends name sometime during the day. I would pick up my phone and text him or even call him. He would tell me, “Bro Daniel, you always seem to call at the right time. When I need you the most.”
So yesterday he spoke something to me that touched my heart. I needed to hear it. As I poured out into his life many times through the years, there are times when I needed something. But I just kept pouring out. Even when I felt it should have been the other way around.
Receiving a word from him, he said.. “Bro Daniel, you just do not know how much you have helped me through the years. Thank you for always being there when I needed you.” This statement made me feel good. But after hanging up, it also made me cry and weep, pushing me to go into prayer. People need God! But will we stay in a place where God can use us to help them that have needs?
I have learned this.. that while helping others, I help myself. The words that comes out of my mouth, I wonder where in the world do they come from? Where did this wisdom come from? How did I learn it? And then I realize, I did not learn it. It came from God’s wisdom. And I needed those same words that were spoken through my mouth by God.
We all need to grow in God. Not just for our own selves, but for others. To help them climb higher! Who will you reach out to help today? Let’s GROW!
