Want to help others? ... attend first to your own soul

 

Morning: Psalm 18:1-20; Isaiah 60:1-5; Revelation 1:1-18

Evening: Psalm 18:21-50; John 7:37-52

 Remember how on airplanes (those contraptions we used to fly in?), when you are travelling with a child you are told, if there is an emergency, to put on your own oxygen mask first and then the child’s? Well, it is like that in the spiritual life ... Jesus invites: ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and ... drink.’ For, ‘out of the believer’s heart shall flow streams of living water.’ In other words: First, drink in all you can of Jesus’s life and teachings and then you will help other thirsty souls find refreshment.
