REMEMBER EVERY KINDNESS



Scripture: Judges 8:29-35

“But then I recall all you have done…” Psalm 77:11a (NIV)

Not long after Gideon died, the children of Israel forgot God and also did not remember the kindness that Gideon had shown them. They returned to the worship of Baal. They allowed the killing of all but one of Gideon’s sons and made the killer their king.
There are many people today who act like those Israelites who existed after Gideon’s demise. They forget deeds of kindness shown them once they perceive that their situation has improved. They forget the sacrifices others made to get them to their current status in life. David is a good example to us on how to react to the kindness of others. He went to great lengths to seek out Mephibosheth because his father, Jonathan, had at one time been good to him (2 Samuel 9:7).

 Never belittle any help you receive at any time no matter how insignificant it may seem. It is important to learn to value and acknowledge the help of others. Sometimes, a simple ‘thank you’ will do. People have been known to show kindness to the children of those who have helped them. As you open the door of blessing to others through whom God has blessed you, you leave open the door of blessing to yourself.
