Hebrews 12:14-17
"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God…"
Our tendency is to say, "I am responsible only for myself and my relationship with the Lord." The author of The Letter to the Hebrews would disagree. He reminds us to never do anything that gets in they way of the grace of God. Shel Silverstein wrote a poem entitled "Helping."
HELPING
Agatha Fry, she made a pie,
And Christopher John helped bake it.
Christopher John, he mowed the lawn,
And Agatha Fry helped rake it.
Zachary Zugg took out the rug,
And Jennifer Joy helped shake it.
And Jennifer Joy, she made a toy,
And Zachary Zugg helped break it.
And some kind of help
Is the kind of help
That helping's all about.
And some kind of help
Is the kind of help
We all can do without.
Does the Lord see your help as the kind that helping is all about or the kind that the Lord would just as soon do without?
