Blessing Others with Time
Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Rest & Reflect
Scripture: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6:10 (KJV)
Rest is not just a personal benefit; it is a platform for extending God’s goodness to others. Galatians 6:10 encourages us to ‘do good unto all,’ especially those within the household of faith, as we have the ‘opportunity.’ Our time is a precious resource, and when we use our Sabbath rest not just for personal rejuvenation but for the benefit of others, we reflect the selfless love of Christ. Blessing others with our time is a tangible way to demonstrate that our faith is not just an internal experience but an outward expression of His grace.
Consider who might need a blessing from your time today. It could be a family member who needs undivided attention, a friend who is going through a difficult season, or someone in your church who could use a helping hand. By intentionally investing your rest into the lives of others, you are not only fulfilling a biblical command but also experiencing a deeper sense of purpose and joy. Let your Sabbath be a time of both personal renewal and outward blessing.
