Mentoring Others

Scripture 2 Kings 12:2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Observation: It’s easier to follow God with help from others. Here a more learned priest guided the king and the king obeyed his guidance. We that have walked with the Lord longer can help hold others be accountable to help keep them on the path of the Lord. We shouldn’t be stingy with the knowledge and grace God has given us we have it to reach out to others. Jesus has mentored all of us that follow Him and he has told us to go and spread the gospel and by spreading we are to teach his words.

Application: Tomorrow I’m going to be meeting with someone who is suffering from depression. This is my opportunity to mentor him in God’s word while asking God for a healing. God has put so many people in my path and I need to do more than say hi when I pass them by, I need to get involved and help.

Prayer: God give me the wisdom I’ll need to make a difference in others’ lives. I’m here as your servant show me how to assist your other servants. Give me knowledge and courage to approach others and may I not be selfish with this precious time you have given me.
