YOU JUST NEED TO COMMUNICATE

Good words are worth much, and cost little. –Herbert

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11

            Any relationship will remain healthy with the lines of communication open. The employer communicates to the employees work responsibilities keeping quotas. The general communicates to the soldiers the importance of the mission keeping a good moral. The Mom and Dad that communicates to their children will have a happy home.

            Our Saviour saw the need to communicate to us. He does it through His Word. He has given us everything we need in it matters of faith and practice in it. All we need to do is read it and apply it to our lives. When we do we can communicate back to Him how blessed we are because of His Word!

HELP IS THERE

            Many reject the help they truly need when it is available.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John 1:11

            I have family friends that are in “Helps Ministry”. They will go wherever God calls and provides the means to get there. They fill in for missionaries on furlough or needing a break, small churches in need of a pastor, and they will do work projects for the church and the pastor. They have been a blessing to many, including myself, over the years! But what if I never asked for help? What if pastors and missionaries reject the help God has provides?

            When Jesus came to the Jews, scripture says, “… his own received him not.” What they needed was the Saviour and He was right there in front of their face and they rejected Him. So many today have what they need right in front of them but they reject what God has given! The help is there but they shut the door on the help God has provided.

            Child of God, don’t be that stupid! Open the help of God’s Word. Use the help of God’s people! Obtain the help through prayer! Attend the help of God’s Institution—the church! Don’t forsake the help God has provided you! It’s there if you want it!
