Support Those in Need

 

Encourage one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”  Hebrews 10:25

 

We have all seen a flock of geese flying in formation as they make their journey across the sky to a further destination. We can also learn much from the “why” of the flock flying together in formation. Here are the learnings:

1) when one falls out of formation, it feels the drag and quickly gets back in alignment

2) when the lead goose gets tired, it rotates to the wing and another goose takes the lead position

3) when a goose is sick or injured, two other geese accompany the sick goose to safety and stay until the goose is ready to fly again

 

As people, we are to encourage others as we become aware of that need. Who do you know that is discouraged, tired, or not well?

 

Action Step:

1) Let your awareness be a signal as to who needs a lift in their spirit.

2) Pick up the phone and make that spontaneous call and speak life.

3) Speak life into those closest to you.

God’s very best,
