Today I spoke with a man not just a man but a husband and a father. Wow what a amazing responsibility that comes with those titles. And the man that I spoke with today was feeling the weight of that responsibility. Like many today the economy has effected his business and things have been very slow therefore created a heavy amount of financial pressure. I'm reminded in the scripture when Peter had got out of the boat and was walking on water (There are times in our lives where it feels like were walking on water things couldn't be better). The scripture says that Peter begin to sink (Things got tuff) We can also understand what it means to say things got tuff) But don't miss this it's powerful as peter begin to sink Jesus came to him and gave the man a hand. So when I spoke with this man today I was just following the example of Jesus in giving the man a hand. We spoke briefly Man to Man and then I asked if I could pray with him (Give the Man a hand). I prayed that God would bless his home and his marriage and his family that God would strengthen him and encourage him with the weight of what he was caring. I prayed that God would bless his business and open doors for new clients and that God would lead this man by the Holy Spirit. I prayed God's provision and favor and blessing over him and everything that was connected to him. I said amen and he uttered amen with me. That was two men getting together that understood each other and when one was down the other gave him a hand. It feels good to show the love Christ in a practical way.
