Читать книгу Let The Weak Say: - Job Mothiba - Страница 15

Don’t enter into helping or serving another because of obligation or expectation. We must be careful to remain humble when walking alongside those who suffer. For it is so easy to slip into the trap of thinking more highly of yourself than you should when you are surrounded by another’s shortcomings. “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!” (Romans 12:16).

When you are in the midst of these feelings, go to God in prayer now and allow Him to transform your heart.

Lord, thank you that your grace is enough to cover my weaknesses. I pray that your power would rest on me, strengthening me in my weaknesses, transform my heart and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, amen

*Jesus Christ- Christ comes from Christos, a Greek word that means “the anointed one,” or “the chosen one.” Bible often refers to Jesus by name as “Jesus Christ,” just as we do in modern usage (see Matthew 1:1, 18; Mark 1:1; John 1:17; 17:3; Acts 3:6; Romans 3:24, etc.). When Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16).

*Elijah-Elijah’s name means “Yahweh is my God” and is spelled Elias in some versions of the Bible. The story of his prophetic career in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reigns of Kings Ahab and Ahaziah is told in 1 Kings 17–19 and 2 Kings 1–2 in the Old Testament.

*Samson- a member of the tribe of Dan, was one of the Judges of Israel. He Judged Israel for 20 years.
