Sent out 2 by 2

Whew! Life be lif-ing !

But God is so good. More than good.

God is a provider, a comforter, a protector, a friend, a help, a father. We are living in a generation that is running from love. Choosing perversion over righteousness and all the other things that God instructs us not to do. However, even in the midst of all these things God knew that we(humans) needed one another. He knew that having someone to support you, feed into you and encourage you in the midst of trials, test and tribulations is important. God holds all these roles and responsibilities when it comes to his care and love for us; yet, he still, saw fit that we were in need of somebody.

When we look at the disciples and their call to go out into the earth and preach. They were sent out 2 by 2! Meaning they were not alone. They had somebody. When we look at Elijah and Elisha…they had each other. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m putting down in this blog. This is not about relationship. This is about support ! Which in some capacity we all are in need of.

Yes, we have God who is beyond qualified to perform the roles I have listed earlier in this blog. Yes, God gives us exactly what we need. With or without the physical support! But could you imagine how the disciples could have felt being sent out into the world to get attacked and talked down on for spreading LOVE and God’s message.? (I know I definitely can.) Now imagine the disciples spreading the word of God while absorbing hate from the world dolo. (means alone. solo. single.) I’m sure anyone having to tackle on all of the hate this world is capable of giving would be ready to tap out.

Sometimes we don’t realize that we are the key to someone else’s problem. Sometimes, we do; just as Christ knew he was the key to salvation for so many people. Yet, and still he tarried on. He did so with the aide of his disciples, followers and those who opposed him. (We can not forget the haters/opposition! They matter even if it’s solely because we’re called to love our enemies.)

Everyday is going to be a challenge while building and establishing our foundation. Just know life is no match for the help we have in Jesus. For the help we find in others. !

Gotta run. Love ya later.
