Helping Others

This evening, I listened to the song, "He Said," by Group 1 Crew (feat. Chris August).

"He said, 'I won't give you more, more than you can take. And I might let you bend, but I won't let you break. And oh, I'll never ever let you go.' Don't you forget what He said!"

"Don't fear when you go through the fire. Hang on when it's down to the wire. Stand tall and remember what He said!"

The verses for today come from Esther 8:1-2: "That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. The king took off his signet ring, which he had reclaimed from Haman, and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed him over Haman's estate." (NIV)

As leaders, we must realize that we cannot do all that we need to alone. We must let others help us. God made Eve because Adam needed a helper. We weren't created to go through everything alone.

Who has God put in your path to help you along the way? Do you positively acknowledge and commend your teammates? They're there for a reason. Don't push away those who are there to help you.

Maxwell poses the question, "How have you helped and rewarded the people who have helped you?"

If you are lacking in that department, step up and take responsibility. Help those who have helped you. Love them back, because Christ loved you first!

God bless you!
