HELPING OTHER PEOPLE                            

"When facing the mad religionist or blind legalist, we have no recourse, no place to stand, if we do not have firsthand experiences of hearing God's voice, held safely within a community of brothers and sisters in Christ who also have such knowledge of God's personal dealings with their own souls." Dallas Willard

PRAY: Heavenly Father, would You equip me for Your work, so that I can be used by You to build up the Body of Christ in my community? I want to attain unity with the Christians around me, and share my knowledge of the Son of God to the non-believers around me. Thank you for this verse that reminds me of Your command.

REFLECT: Is this verse a reminder for you, personally, to equip others for the work of the ministry in order to to build up the Body? Do you need to be equipped to fulfill the task? Or are you already doing it and you should be praying for others to join you in unity? Ponder this verse, and ask the Lord to reveal His knowledge to you, in order to fully understand what it means.  

ACT:  As you reflect on this verse, what conclusion did you come to? If you aren't equipped yourself or you want to help equip others, then it might help to read "How To Talk About Jesus Without Freaking Out" to learn how to share your faith, gain the knowledge of the Son of God, and build up the body of Christ. Make it a priority to equip yourself so you can equip the saints.
