Title: Do you assist him/her?

-
Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend [to show rage or worthy purpose]. Proverbs 27:17 AMPC
AMPC (Amplified bible classic)
Devotion: The title is a question, reason is that I want us to re-examine our relationship with our spouses, partners, colleagues in office and our family members. Do we really assist them when we noticed something wrong or just criticize them?
   A friend indeed is one who assists another no matter what. He will not betray you, nor forsake you. He will see your struggle as his/her struggle and wade through it with you. Please read the good Samaritan story in Luke 10:29-36. Many times it is better to bind a wound than blame a friend for carelessness, because many things happen that one is not able to explain.
   We are still on earth and the flesh is powerful it can make us stumble but we need to girder our loins (Proverb 31:17) and rise up to the challenge. This is where we need to assist our friend/neighbour to rise up and sharpen them up with the word of God.
Dear friend do you need to be sharpened? Let's know. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
