Proverbs 31:20
'She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy' (NIV)

In the 1930s, jockey Johnny Longden was rammed in mid-race. While thundering steeds came up from behind, Johnny was thrown sideways off his horse. Seeing his predicament, another jockey reached out and attempted to push Longden back up on his mount. Unfortunately, he pushed too hard and Longden flew over the horse onto the other side. Still another jockey nearby grabbed him and was able to help him safely back on his horse. Amazingly, Johnny Longden won the race! A newspaper dubbed it “the ultimate impossibility.” Helping hands had not only saved him from severe injury and possible death, but allowed him to win the race. 

As believers, we are to offer a helping hand to others as well. In Proverbs 31, we read of the virtuous woman who “extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy” (v.20). For centuries, the compassion of this woman of faith has been an inspiration to both men and women. She helps to remind us that extending ourselves to others is a biblical virtue to be exhibited by all believers.

There are many who are struggling or have fallen on hard times and need our assistance. Who in your life needs a helping hand?

Your faith in God is proven when

You serve as one who cares;

Faith finds a way to love and help

Puts action to your prayers. — Hess

God often sends His help by way of human hands.

1 Peter 5: 6

'Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's might hand, that he may life you up in due time.' (NIV)

Life is better if we dont have to compete against one another in life on useless possessions. If we humble ourselves before God he will lift us up :)
