12But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, 13“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’ 14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them, 15until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
Help Them
“This same principle operates in the Body of Christ. When one member has a need, it is the common need of the body (1 Corinthians 12:25-26). We should never refuse to help a brother in need because our own state is settled.” (Guzik)
1Co 12:25-26 NKJV - 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but [that] the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it]; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with [it].
When we purchased our current property we started clearing some trees for a barn. It was overwhelming as we had 50 trees to cut down, process, cut up, remove stumps and level the soil for the barn. We had started attending a new church and a couple introduced themselves. After the husband found out we were clearing tree limbs and branches he asked what time he could come to help us!
He has a big heart ❤️ for helping brothers and sisters in the body and the community in general.
Have you ever offered to help them?
Blessings
