Week 9: Helping Others
Make yourself useful as well as ornamental.
Proverbs 18: 9-16
This is one of my grandfather’s favorite sayings. It was applied to us as children whenever it looked like we might be trying to assume the role of supervisor (a position everyone knew was his) and stand by while others were working. We would be reminded we were in the field to work not watch, to serve not be a spectator.
After all, we may not be able to pretty but we could be practical. Make yourself useful as well as ornamental. The minute you are able to help someone, help them. You don’t want them to delay when you need help.
Pray and ask God to show you where someone’s need and your ability to help will intersect today. Write down some of those places you can expect to be ready.
