“(You are to help them) until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the LORD your God is giving them...”
The human body is an amazing machine. It’s made up of several individual body parts that support one another to perform a plethora of different functions. Ever notice how when one body part is not performing properly, it causes discomfort to another body part? For instance, if you sprang your ankle, your leg may become sore while it compensates for the injury. Another example is when your feet hurt, your lower back may experience some pain. The body automatically supports the part in need.
As believers, we understand that we are all members of the body of Christ. Therefore, when one member is in need, by God’s design, we are to help that member until they are made well. Christians cannot have an “I got mine, you get yours” mentality. If you have been blessed enough to find rest in this crazy world of ours, God wants you to help another believer find theirs. You’ll find the body to be even more blessed when you support the other parts that are in need.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the rest You’ve given me. Please grant me the power to help and encourage members of the body to find their rest and take possession of the blessings You’ve given them. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
