Title: Seek Support.

-


On the 6th day of our discussion on Narcissism, we encourage us to seek support from appropriate people. 

"A burden shared is a burden halved" is a proverb meaning that sharing your problems with others makes them feel less overwhelming, as support and different perspectives lighten the load, but it depends on who you share with, as the wrong person can actually make it worse. It encourages seeking help and community, often linked to biblical teachings like Galatians 6:2 in the Bible ("Bear one another's burdens"). 

- Scripture: “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10) 

- Reflection: Moses needed Aaron and Hur to hold up his hands (Exodus 17:12). We need community too. 

- Prayer: Father, surround me with people who will encourage me and remind me of Your truth. 

- Action Step: You may not be able to bear it alone; reach out to a trusted friend, church elder, pastor or mentor today.

 Share what you’re going through with me here.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
