DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 1; Ezekiel 2 to 3:15; 2 Timothy 3
So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. Isaiah 41:7
It is obvious from Christian experience, and from Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12 that we cannot all be good at everything in our service for the Lord. Fine! Exercise your own gift to the full but make sure you encourage others in theirs. Encouragement and positivity to others “oils the wheels” of a local New Testament church. Failure to do so can discourage and harm. —Brian Russell
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Saviour I pray, make me a blessing to someone today.
