2 Kings 25: 27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of
Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from
prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. 28 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the
other kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life
ate regularly at the king’s table. 30 Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he
lived.

My first job had one amazing person who took me under his
wing and decided to train me instead of firing me. But after him I had a string
of bosses who were reckless with their people. One would yell at people in
public! “Is this what work is about?” I thought to myself.
When the position was moved over to another division I sat
at my desk thinking, “here we go again. I wonder how horrible this boss will
be?” One year after that thought I received the highest award in the company
because he went out on a limb for me. He restored my faith that there are some
good people out there.
- Just when I think all is lost GOD delivers the right person.
- Just when I think I have to remain in a pitiful situation GOD delivers the right person.
- Just when I think my situation couldn’t better GOD delivers the right person.
Walking into an elevator, a person smiled at me when I was
having a bad day. When I was a kid, GOD delivered people into my life who’s
words ring in my mind saying “I can do it.” These strangers seem to come from
nowhere but they always had a word of encouragement.
- Can you be the right person for someone?
- Can you encourage someone today?
- Won’t you take time to praise GOD and build someone up today?
