It's important to be steadfast in the Word and in prayer, and to stay on the path of righteousness. You never know when God will send an assignment to you or a person that is in need of YOUR help. God will put people in your path for a reason and we need to be ready in all seasons, to help them along and do what God is calling us to do. You need to be ready, willing and able.
It's also important to know what the scriptures say about helping others. We are to be willing to help other people, whether it's in a time of need and they ask you, or if it's just a time where generosity takes over. Always be looking for ways to help others.
Something to think about when helping others, is advice. What kind of advice are you giving? Good advice or godly advice? Strive to grow closer to God and stay in your Word, because when someone asks for help or advice, we need God to speak through us. We should want God to speak up and speak out, not our flesh. We can only achieve this if we have been in His presence.
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
We are called to help everyone, whether they are saved or not. Many times, it is those that are unsaved who need the help the most. They definitely need spiritual help, and it's our job as believers to point them to Christ.
Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
This is telling us to not shun or condemn others, but to be there for them and help them along in their journey. We are to do as Christ tells us to. Go through the situation with a brother or sister in Christ. Our family in Christ is to pray with us and for us about any situation we need help in. Do your part in the body of Christ.
Romans 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Once again, our help is necessary for the body of Christ. Be nice and kind. This allows us to seem approachable so others feel safe and can come to us in confidence. They can trust that the God in us will help them through their storm in life. The saints need to learn how to come together and love each other as we're told. Be hospitable. Be available. Be ready to help.
