Lighten Another’s Load
When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba, the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.—2 Samuel 16:1 (NIV)
The above Bible verse shows the amazing impact of a gesture of encouragement. Today embrace God’s command to “encourage one another and build each other up.” Ask God to make you aware of who needs a pat on the back or a listening ear.
Heavenly Father, help me to be aware of another’s needs so that I can help ease their burden.
