CAN I HELP YOU?

-








I  hear the question, "Can I help you?" several times when I go shopping. It 
seems that more sales clerk say it 
more often now. The retail market 
is very competitive so most stores 
are improving their customer service.

 The Bible uses the word, help, a lot.  Today I'm looking at scriptures that
tell us about help from the Biblical perspective.  




LIFE LESSON:

 SEEK THE LORD'S HELP

  PSALM 22:19
 
But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
 

  PSALM 27:9
 
Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
 
MATTHEW 15:25
 
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
 
 
 
  
LIFE LESSON: 
 
THE LORD WILL HELP YOU!

GENESIS 49:25
 
By the God of your father who will help you, And by the Almighty who will bless you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
 
EXODUS 18:4
 
And the name of the other was Eliezer
for he said, “The God of my father was 
my help, and delivered me from the 
sword of Pharaoh”
 
DEUTERONOMY 33:29
 
Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you,
a people saved by the Lord, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.”
 
1 CHRONICLES 12:1

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai,
chief of the captains, and he said: 
“We are yours, O David; We are on
your side, O son of Jesse! Peace,
peace to you, And peace to your 
helpers! For your God helps you.” 
So David received them, and made 
them captains of the troop.
 
PSALM 27:9

Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away 
in anger;You have been my help; 
Do not leave me nor forsake me, 
O God of my salvation.
 


LIFE LESSON:

 YOU SHOULD HELP OTHERS


LEVITICUS 25:35
‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then
you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.
 
ISAIAH 41:6

Everyone helped his neighbor, And said 
to his brother, “Be of good courage!”
 
LUKE 5:7

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them...

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
