Exodus 31:1-18; Psalms 79:1-80:19; Acts 18:24-19:20
If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 2 Samuel 10:11
Joab spoke these words to his brother Abishai as they were about to engage the enemies of Israel. Here is one who is willing to come alongside another one in need. Is this not what an encourager does? Is there someone you know today who is struggling, maybe feeling overwhelmed, who needs a helping hand? Taking the time to pay them a visit and to be with them could be a real encouragement. Don’t let the opportunity pass. —Pete Smith
Some work of love begun, some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won, something for Thee. —S. Dryden Phelps
