BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 3:11-14
11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
MESSAGE:
Offering help to individuals, groups, or communities is an act that always brings fulfilment. It has been proven by research that people who help others are always happy and are less likely to develop depression and other emotional issues. However, those who complain or see other people as burdens do not live happily.
Today’s Bible reading urges us to minister help to fellow believers. This means that you have been assigned to help people in your dormitory, fellowship, school, et cetera, based on your capacity. For instance, if your classmate has no snack for lunch and you have two, God expects you to share your lunch to alleviate your classmate’s hunger. Also, if your parents are rich and your coursemate is having issues with paying his or her school fees, you can help your coursemate by asking your parents if they can assist in paying his or her fees.
My dear child, it is richly rewarding when you help others or volunteer to serve in organisations. It can also help to build your experience for future careers or businesses.
ACTION POINT:
Help someone in need around you today.
