TOPIC: We All Need Other People
Dear Lord, grant me understanding and illumination as I ponder on your word in Jesus name.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Galatians 6:1-10
6 Brethren, if a man is [a]overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.
6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Scripture Union Daily Guide Tuesday 13th May 2025 Outline
No believer should ever feel self-sufficient and in no need of anyone’s help (Proverbs 27:17,18). When you are inward looking you fail to see the needs of others and eventually, they will fail to notice your presence. It will be a big surprise if you reap melons where you have sown maize. We need to bear each other’s burdens (Philippians 2:4), as well as help bring back those who have gone astray or demonstrate that they are losing the way (James 5:20).
Perseverance in doing good brings about God’s rewards. Rewards can come in any form: spiritual, material, financial, etc. Can you identify some of those rewards in your life? If then, thank and praise God. If not, ask Him to open your eyes to see them. Then count your blessings one by one. It might surprise you what He has done.
Meditation:
What issues are threatening to derail your walk with the Lord? What must you do about them?
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer:
Dear Father, help me to be selfless and to bear one another’s burden so fulfil the law of Christ.
