I Need Help

I wrote an article the other day about hitting a deer. I was about to type my second point when I realized I had run out of room. In case you do not remember the article, I want to remind you of what we talked about last time. We were discussing riding along the road of life when something brings you to a complete stop. What do you do? We talked about how we pick up the pieces and keep going. Perseverance and faithfulness are key to walking with Jesus. What I wanted to talk about last time when I ran out of room was those who stopped to help.

There were several who drove by. They had to see the deer. It was lying in the middle of the road. We were in our lane with the flashers on. There were pieces of our van lying on the road that people were driving through. Most people kept driving. They might have been late and needed to get somewhere. Maybe it was an older person who did not think they could help. Probably there were some who did not care but just kept on going. We are all going to have accidents in our lives, and we need support from others. I really appreciated the young couple that stopped. They checked on us, called the accident in, and helped us clean up the mess. The young lady said she had hit deer before. She understood, she stopped, she helped. As Christians, we need to look after our brothers and sisters (Hebrews 3:13). We need to try to reach out to those of the world who have accidents (Matthew 22:39). Why? To show them Jesus and because that is what Jesus would do and we claim to be Jesus people. The reality is that out of all the cars that passed by, only one stopped to help. In your time of distress, you might feel that everyone is passing by, but Jesus is there to help (2 Timothy 4:16-17). You are not alone. Turn to Him.
