Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:24 Romans 15:2
Helping Our Neighbor
Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good.
ROMANS 15:2
Let us consider one another.
HEBREWS 10:24
LOOK around you, first in your own family, then among your friends and
neighbors, and see whether there be not some one whose little burden
you can lighten, whose little cares you may lessen, whose little
pleasures you can promote, whose little wants and wishes you can
gratify. Giving up cheerfully our own occupations to attend to others,
is one of the little kindnesses and self-denials. Doing little things
that nobody likes to do, but which must be done by some one, is
another. It may seem to many, that if they avoid little unkindnesses,
they must necessarily be doing all that is right to their family and
friends; but it is not enough to abstain from sharp words, sneering
tones, petty contradiction, or daily little selfish cares; we must be
active and earnest in kindness, not merely passive and inoffensive.
LITTLE THINGS, 1852
The labor of the baking was the hardest part of the sacrifice of her
hospitality. To many it is easy to give what they have, but the
offering of weariness and pain is never easy. They are indeed a true
salt to salt sacrifices withal.

Scripture Reference: John 16:33 Acts 7:5 Genesis 12:4-9 Hebrews
11:15-16 2 Timothy 3:12
Separation Often Produces Conflict
Genesis 12:4-9
Abraham finally left Haran and forsook everything.
Speaking of Abraham and those who were with him, Hebrews 11:15,16
says, "And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence
they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But
now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God
is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a
city."
Abraham's separation from Haran was complete.
Once Abraham was in the land, he did not stop to possess it but merely
passed through it. He did not stop because God did not order him to
stop.
Genesis 12:6 says, "And Abram passed through the land unto the place
of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land."
As to Abraham's inheritance in the land, Acts 7:5 says that "he [God]
gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot
on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and
to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child."
At this time, therefore, Abraham was not occupying the land but merely
passing through it. The Scriptures comment that "the Canaanite was
then in the land" (Gen. 12:6). The Canaanites posed a problem and were
the source of future conflict.
Our separation is similar. God calls for an all-out separation, which
often results in conflict. There will be persecution and problems, but
we must remember the words of Jesus: "In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John
16:33).
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution" (2 Tim. 3:12).

Source: Early in the Morning
Scripture Reference: Joshua 5:13-6:16
God's
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark
of the LORD.
As they had miraculously left the land of Egypt, Israel had now
entered the land of Canaan by a similar miracle. All the people were
safely across the swift waters of the Jordan. The army of Israel
encamped at Gilgal. Having settled in the land, Joshua and the people
were now ready for their first great test--the capture of the outpost
of Jericho.
Since Jericho was the most secure stronghold in a string of
fortifications defending the eastern front of Canaan, there were many
anxious Israelite hearts the night before the conquest began. Joshua
himself was pacing the ground at the edge of the Israeli encampment.
While meditating on how to attack Jericho, a man appeared to Joshua
with a sword drawn in his hand. Intrepidly Joshua asked, "Art thou for
us, or for our adversaries?" (Joshua 5:13) The powerful figure
identified himself as the Captain of the host of the Lord. This title,
so often afterward applied to the Son of God, revealed to Joshua that
this was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Joshua must have known
immediately the identity of this warrior for he fell on his face to
the earth and worshiped Him.
Joshua 6:2 records, "And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given
into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of
valor." Although it was the night before the once-a-day treks around
the city of Jericho, the Lord's promise to Joshua was, "I have given
into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof." Their lines of battle
had not yet been drawn. The fighting had not yet begun. Yet the
victory was certain. Even before the event occurred, God said "I have
done it."
How can this be? How can God say the battle is won before it is begun?
The answer is that God is above time. He has no futures nor pasts,
only an eternal present. He always deals in what is for Him the "now."
Frequently God uses the words "I will" and "I have" interchangeably.
Consider the similar experience of Abraham, recorded in Genesis 17.
Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord God appeared to him and,
as Joshua did, he fell on his face before the Lord. The Almighty God
was about to make a covenant with Abraham that he would become the
father of many nations. To Abraham God said, "Neither shall thy name
anymore be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father
of many nations have I made thee" (Genesis 17:5). To a childless
ninety-nine-year-old man, whose wife was nearly that age, God said, "A
father of many nations have I made thee."
In quoting that promise in Romans 4:17, the Apostle Paul notes, "And
being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when
he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's
womb" (Romans 4:19). It did not matter that Sarah was well beyond the
age of childbearing. God said He had made Abraham the father of many
nations and we can count God's "wills" as God's "haves."
As twentieth century believers, the promises of God to us which have
yet to be fulfilled are in the eternality of God already fulfilled.
Thus the Lord Jesus promised, "I go to prepare a place for you. And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again" (John 14:2-3).
Although this is an event in history future, nevertheless, it is a
promise as certain as if it had already been fulfilled. God calls
things that are not yet as if they already are.
Hence, even though the battle plan was strange to Joshua, the defeat
of the enemy was sure. Trusting the God of completed promises, "Joshua
rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the
LORD" (Joshua 6:12) and the children of Israel proceeded to the
conquest of Jericho. Another great victory was won for the Lord God
whose "haves" and "wills" are interchangeable.
MORNING HYMN
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
