“Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”” 1 Samuel 25:11.
Do you reach out to people or you are a lone ranger? Are you
building relationships or you are destroying them? Are you building bridges or
walls when it comes to relating with people? Relationships are the greatest
currency in the world today. Relationship with God and with people. You cannot
claim to have a good relationship with God, if you don’t relate well with people.
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on
earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of
my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in
my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20
It is wise to build bridges and not walls so that you will not be alone in the day you need people around you. Our text today was the words of Nabal when David asked him to help him and his followers with some food. He refused, despite the fact that David explained that they have been good to his servants. He built walls instead of building bridges to reach out to David. Nabal’s wife later called him a fool when she took some food to meet David and his servant as they were coming to attack Nabal.
May you build a strong relationship with the right people in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God, help me
to reach out to people that matter in Jesus name.
Salvation: Lord Jesus, I
believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of
darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord. I invite you into my life to save my soul.
Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you
Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
