Endurance for the Journey, Featured, Hope

David went out to meet them and said to them,
“if you have come to me in peace to help me,
I am ready to have you unite with me.”
1 CHRONICLES 12:17 (NIV)

Quite often God entrusts His great love to the gentle touch of a human hand, the familiar sound of a voice. And that’s only one reason why we need each other so desperately. Here are a few more:

I need your tears to validate mine (Romans 12:15).

I need your silence to acknowledge the depth of my pain (Job 2:11-13).

I need your hand to reach down and lift me up when I fall (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

I need your willingness to be a vessel through which God can speak (1 Peter 4:11).

I need your example of servanthood to encourage me in my spiritual journey (John 13:3-15).

I need your wisdom when I’m in a difficult situation (Exodus 18:14-27).

I need your perspective to sharpen my own (Proverbs 27:17).

I need your loyalty when others betray me (1 Samuel 20:1-17).

I need your advocacy when I face the unknown (1 Kings 5:1).

I need your prayers even when I can’t pray for myself (Ephesians 6:18).

And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need.
These are the sacrifices that please God.
HEBREWS 13:16 (NLT)

On the journey with you,
