Help!

When you are in need remember God is there watching over you!

Today's Scripture:

Our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses. When he lived on earth, he was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God's throne where there is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need it.

Hebrews 4:15-16

Leadership does not come with a handbook. Of course there are theories, plans, and suggestions by many so called experts, but when it comes down to it, you and I have to think on our feet. Unfortunately, in leadership every person who attempts it is bound to make mistakes at some point. If you are bold and of strong faith you may make many along your journey from which we can learn and grow.

Admitting faults and weaknesses is humbling for most people. Sometimes you do not even reach out to others for help because it would require an admission of your inadequacy. But be encouraged.

When no one else can console you or understand your pain, God can.

Because Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, it is often forgotten that he was tempted to sin, challenged in his faith, just as you and I are daily, and he too suffered physical pain. But as you experience in your relationships with others, he also endured the very things that you face in life.

When you need help because you have made a mistake, seek assistance from God. Although your blunder may reap undesirable consequences, you can find relief in God. He offers mercy and grace. When you are simply discouraged or doubtful, you can be assured that his grace is not earned but is a gift awaiting you when you need it. Your responsibility is to simply ask God for help. He will answer.

Selah people' and friends make a list of challenges or inadequacies with which you need help right now. Prayerfully and specifically request that God help you with each situation.

"Remember Christ is a comfort in a time of trouble. He like a Lifeguard stands watch and even when you have forgotten it...He is always watching and waiting ready to dive in and save you in your time of need."
