"I love the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy. Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live." -Psalm 116:1-2 (NIV)
Being involved in a small organization is kind of like being involved in a family. Of course there are disagreements and politics, like there always are when a group of people get together, but there are also times when we need to help each other. So what happens when someone doesn't want help and that refusal of help begins to hurt the whole organization?
Being part of the church is being part of God's family. Sometimes members of the family disagree. Sometimes members of the family need help. It can be both sad and frustrating to watch others refuse help and in the process hurt themselves and others. As part of God's family and the body of Christ, we need to realize that there are times when we need to accept help! The help may come from other members of the body, from individuals outside of the family of God, or from God Himself. Instead of refusing help because of pride or arrogance, we should embrace it. After we embrace God and the help He sends us, then we can praise Him for always hearing our voice and we can be reassured by His presence in our lives.
Accept the help that God provides and praise Him for His presence in your life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being present in my life. Allow me to know when I need help and to graciously receive and accept the help that You provide. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
