Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-21

Galatians 6:1 (NKJV) 1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

One of the best things we can do when we see someone in trouble is pray for them 1st.

That’s right; talk to God.

Unless He is telling us to speak up, we should observe the situation, but hold back until He tells us specifically to say something.

Sometimes we do it backwards. We make the mistake of talking to them first, out of concern, and it doesn’t end up very good. Many times it ends up in a heated argument or sore feelings towards each other.

Knowing exactly how to help someone can be hard and frustrating. We may think we are doing the right thing only to realize it wasn’t quite right for that particular time or person.

But the good intentions are there and most will see that.

I have had to learn over time that God knows best, even when something similar may have worked before.

Wait on His guidance in helping restore one in a spirit of gentleness. Don’t ever approach someone when we are fuming mad and upset.

Give it some time to cool down. Pull it together and pray first. Our words and attitude have a lot to do with how things turn out.

Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV) 1  A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
