Help


Just a while ago, I was taking with my older son about one bad grade that he obtains in one science project at school. I was explaining him that those type of projects are for help students improve their grades not to affect them how was in his case. I was mad, because he could have an A in his final grade for that class, but because that project, he end up with a B. I was asking him why he did not ask me for help, and he responds me that he did not need help. I tell him that if he did not need my help, he would not end up with the bad grade. I explain him that my background is in science that I could be a good help for him to have a good grade. I also explain him that even though I am in college, I always look for help for my projects, even though sometimes I think I don’t need it. Two or three heads think better than just one. I ask him that next time he have a project for school no matter if he knows what he have to do or not, he have to ask me for help even if is just too see how looks.

In the same week a friend of mine was having a surgery, and I was telling her about cooking and helping out with other mutual friends to help her around the house. She just says that she doesn’t want bother other people and that she does not need help, Really??? I told her that I do believe that she really needs all the help she can get.

We constantly are praying to God for help, and when He sends us the Help, we refuse it, contradictory right? Later on I was reading a devotional book about Jesus calling, and one of the days of that week it say “let me bless you with My grace and Peace” God is telling us let Him be with us let Him help us, and still we struggle to let Him work in our lives. Before my divorce, I never ask for help, because shame, pride, or what ever excuse I had. Today, if I need help, I reach out for help and ask God to help me to overcome whatever struggle I am going trough. The important thing here is recognized and chooses the right help, the one that would not harm us or to the people around us.

Psalm 119:170-173
170 Let my request for grace come before you; deliver me according to your promise!
171 Let my lips overflow with praise because you’ve taught me your statutes.
172 Let my tongue declare your word, because all your commandments are righteous.
173 Let your power help me because I have chosen your precepts.


Big Hug,
MRM
