Help Others to Help Themselves to JOY

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It will HELP you as you go about HELPING others to HELP themselves to their serving of JOY.

            Helping others is an honorable thing.

·        We are to help others in need.

·        We are to help others in deed.

·        We are to help others regardless of age, race or creed.

Jesus told us that “loving others as ourselves” is one of the greatest commandments.  There is joy in helping others.

            But today I want to talk with you about how we many times we “help” in the wrong way.  Wouldn’t you agree that we like to often “help God” by taking matters into our own hands?  We try to manipulate situations to get our way and make things work out the way WE think they should.  Are you ever too busy “helping God” that you don’t even stop to pray and ask for His guidance and blessing?

            How foolish we are to think that God needs our help!  He is all powerful, all knowing, and had every detail of our lives taken care of before we were born.  We can rest in His plan.  How to do we know what that plan is? 

·        By studying His Word,

·        By communicating with Him through prayer consistently and continually

·        By learning to hear His voice.

·        Then by being obedient to His leading.

            Never find yourself so busy helping God--- that you miss out on hearing Him.
