When we are one in Christ, we are closer than family. But, we sometimes treat each other worse than the way we treat the stranger. We should learn to share the each other's burdens like today's scripture. We are to learn from what Jesus has done for us. He sacrificed for us. Just like that, in order for us to share the burden of each other, we need to learn to sacrifice like Christ has shown.
Today, remember, you are bound by blood of Jesus Christ with everyone who came to Christ. You need to recognize others who are struggling in their life and help them in anyway possible. If you are not helping, then, you are not being a true witness of Jesus Christ, what he has demonstrated for you.
Recognize each other's burden and help each other.
Sometimes, we compare ourself too much with others where we don't do well with what we need to do. This is true for the workplace and also in the ministry as well. From early on from childhood, we are always comparing with others. If we don't do better than others, we are put down by our parents. But, today's word reminds us that you are responsible for your own work.
Today, remember, you are to focus on your work, not looking around to do better than others. Focus at work, do your best to do what you are instructed to do. In ministry, focus on the task that God has instructed for you to do. Do not compare yourself with others. This will lead to downfall. If you want to compare, compare with what Jesus has done in your life and what you should do more for him.
This is what is truly meant here, a relationship between pastors or leaders and congregation or follower, is one of Koinonia, 'fellowship' or 'partnership'. It is bound by the blood of Jesus Christ and the word of God, the relationship between the pastors and congregation is clued. Sharing the good things is key to relationship between each other.
Today, remember, you have not come to know Jesus Christ without the help of those who spread the good news to you. In your life, there was so many who mentor or lead or taught the God's word to you, do not forget them, but remember them and share the good things with them. This is not just material things; but, it's the joy that comes from sharing the love of God to others and how God is working through you.
Share good things with the leaders or mentors or pastors.
We all know exactly what Today's scripture is teaching us. Garbage in, and garbage out. Put in good work, you get good results. God is fair to all of us. He is teaching all of us to live away from our satisfaction, but to live to give glory to God.
Today, remember, your action and your lifestyle matters now and your future, so, need to seriously think about what you are doing and you are planning to do. Do you put your focus on the things that will decay or do you put your focus on things that will last eternally. It is sometimes very hard to see what may be more valuable, because many people are blinded by the things of this world. But, you need to know and live by being obedient to the Spirit. As you do, you will be filled with joy and knowing that you have everlasting life.
You will harvest what you plant, plant wisely today.
