Several years ago we were in South Carolina while Jane’s Granny was in the hospital. During the day Jane would head up to the hospital to spend time with her Granny and I would stay out at the lake / farm with the kids. Jane’s cousin had a four wheeler that he let us use on that trip.
One day we were in a field riding it through a mud patch and we got stuck. I had all the kids get off, but I still was unable to get it out of the mud. Finally Tyler offered to try. Reluctantly I let him give it a try. He was able to get it out. And the fun was then on as we went through the mud again and again that day!
Life is a lot like that experience. Many times we get stuck in life and try as we might, we can’t break free. In fact, many times the harder we try, the more stuck we become. We need the help of another person to get unstuck. We need the help of the Holy Spirit. Pride keeps many from asking another person for help. Pride keeps multitudes from receiving help from the Holy Spirit. The next time you find yourself stuck in life, don’t hesitate to ask for help from God and others. We need each other.
At Fellowship Church one of the best ways to make relational connections with other people and with God is in our network of Small Groups. In these groups you will discover relationships that will aid you through the sticky seasons of life. Don’t miss out on the joy of letting others help you. Check out the Small Group connection board in the Main Welcome Center near the Women’s Restroom to get connected to a group.
Loving and Leading,
Jeff Powell
