Learn to Look Out

Here's some more incite from Elizabeth George...

"Do you know the story in the Bible of the shepherd who had 100 sheep and discovered that one was missing (Luke 15:1-7)? Well, what amazes me is that the shepherd dropped everything and went looking for that one sheep. And what amazes me even more is that that's the way God cares for you and me. And here's something else that's amazing-- God expects you and I to care for others in the same way! So here are a few tips on learning to look out!

- Develop a "bountiful eye"-- The Bible says that "Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed" (Proverbs 22:9). I think of a bountiful eye as being like the eyes of the Lord, which "run" and "range" throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. So here's what I do. Whenever I go out in public, I intentionally look for wounded sheep. And believe me, they are everywhere! When you find someone in need...then what?

- Be direct-- I've had to learn (yes, learn!) to be direct and to reach out to hurting people. It's not always easy, but it's the right thing to do."

Have you had a "bountiful eye" lately? In what ways can you be on the look out for wounded sheep?

Learn to Reach Out

As we begin to talk about serving, here are a couple points shared by Elizabeth George:

Be a giver- The Bible says, “Do not withhold good from those whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it” (Proverbs 3:27).

Be bold- By this I mean, when God puts someone in your path who is suffering or hurting, don’t think, “I’ve got to go find someone to help her.” No, you be bold. Find out what the need is. Maybe all they need is a shoulder to cry on or someone to pray with! That person can be you!

Be generous- And by this I mean not only with money and praise, but with praise, encouragement, thanks, a greeting, kindness, and good deeds works. You and I can choose to give these tiny blessings that cost so little and mean so much others.


One great way we can serve others is through encouragement. Who do you know in need of encouragement today? Anyone can be encouraged! Share how you see your friend growing in their relationship with the Lord. How can you encourage your parents or siblings? Is there a mom in your church you admire for her example of biblical womanhood in your life? It can be as easy as sharing a scripture verse with someone. We should always be thinking of ways to encourage and uplift the souls of others!

Ephesians 4: 29- “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is building up, as it fits the occasions, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
