One of the easiest things in the world for some people to do is to stop caring about other people. “Everyone has problems, everyone goes through some form of pain, sorrow, troubles, and everyone is going to die someday anyway, so just get on with your own life, live it the way that you want to, and leave them to their own fate.” “And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Gen. 4:9) I don’t know, are you? How much of other people’s lives do you believe you should interject yourself into? Should you wait for them to start speaking to you about their desires, their wants and needs? Or should you ask certain questions of them, deeply personal questions that cut to the quick of their possible problems? And when should you do that, after

Do some of it now, finish the rest of it later. God did not make all of creation instantaneously, He for His own reasons decided to spread it out over six days instead. No one knows why, there are numerous conjectures of course, but the best answer is because that is what He wanted to do. “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26) No matter what any of us have a desire to do, none of us can accomplish any task immediately, even our thoughts need to progress, and that takes time. I bring this topic up for a singular reason, our sanctification, something that some do not seem to be in a hurry, if you will, to see accomplished, regulating that time to when they are glorified, and in that sense, they are simply

“Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” (Phil. 2:14) Very difficult to do in these days that we are going through. Almost every other social media post seems to be about the concerns of people’s financial wherewithal, their inability, and forgive me for saying this perhaps in an unloving way, to maintain the standard of living that they have been accustomed to. The chickens, as they say, have come home to roost. The massive debts they have accumulated over the years, many times for wants, and not necessarily true needs, have become a major burden for them. And so, as those true needs begin to rise exponentially in cost, food and clothing, they are left with really nothing more than to complain. “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” (prov. 22:7) They have become slaves by their own design, by their own free

One of the surest ways that I have found over the years to determine if someone desires to be useful is they ask if they can help you in any way. “Do you need a hand?” “Is there anything I can do for you, anything I can do to help you out in anyway?” And they mean it. Is that the type of question that you have ever asked of the Lord? “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matt. 10:16) I wonder, did those men that day when our Savior said that to them, go out into the land with excitement and anticipation, or with a form of nervous anxiety, for it was the first time they were going about the Lord’s work, as it were, without Him. No Holy Spirit indwelling them, no
