My Brothers Keeper

Hebrews 12:13 "And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way;but let it rather be healed".
There are many on their way to heaven, who yet walk lame and weak, but they still try to stay the course, many who are in need of spiritual strength, having fallen hands and weak knees, but still are pressing toward the mark of the high calling of God. We must learn to lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, as some hands have fallen and knees are weak because we carry things God wants us to leave behind.

 Let us with prayer and supplication bear one another's burdens with patience, that we might all reach this journeys end. Let us help to lift up the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees which can depress and discourage many on this walk, with prayer and words of encouragement. Let the strong first make sure we are walking a straight path, that we might better lead those who are following us. Let our paths be straight  by staying away from crooked customs, religious rituals and self serving doctrines which trip up many on the way. Strait paths through faith that God is; with the patience that God will, and the holy courage to stand firm in your faith, having an undying Joy in the Lord. This will make your walk steady and prevent wavering and wandering along this journey. Let us encourage and not discourage others that are traveling in the same way, for this may cause the lame and weak to turn away. Let the life of the strong be an encouragement to those with little hope, limited faith, living in doubt so they don't  backslide, and neglecting the grace of God.

We must strengthen them with comfort, relieving them their distress, showing them the love of God and assuring them they are never alone. We must restore them, rebuild their hope ,faith and trust in God through the power of our testimony and the truth of Gods word. Jesus the Christ , the good shepherd, the door to the sheep, who will bless us coming and going. So let us lead them in THE WAY; feed them with THE TRUTH, and expose them to THE LIFE which God is calling us too.
