오늘의 성경말씀 : 전도서 4:9-12
메기는 10년간 마약 투여로 계속 교도소를 들락거렸습니다. 삶의 변화가 없다면 곧 이전 삶으로 되돌아갈 것이 분명했습니다. 그러던 중 메기는 마약 남용으로 정맥이 터져 손을 잃을 뻔했던, 한때 중독자 한스를 만났습니다. 한스는 “그때 처음으로 하나님께 부르짖었어요.”라고 말했습니다. 한스는 지금 하나님의 응답으로 교도소 중독자들의 회복을 돕는 단체의 동료 전문가가 되어 있습니다.
자원들을 모아 어떻게 사람들을 더 잘 섬길 수 있을까요? 당신은 지역사회를 위한 “스톤 수프”를 만들기 위해 무엇을 내어줄 수 있습니까?
사랑하는 하나님, 제가 다른 사람들과 함께 돕는 일을 잘할 수 있도록 축복해 주소서.

One can help the other up. [ ECCLESIASTES 4:10]
Meggie’s ten years of drug use kept her in and out of jail. Without a life change, she’d soon return. Then she met Hans, a former addict who almost lost his hand when a vein ruptured due to his substance abuse. “That was the first time I cried out to God,” Hans said. God’s answer prepared him to be a peer specialist for an organization that coordinates recovery for jailed addicts.
Called Stone Soup, the program is helping an American jail provide formerly imprisoned people with support to reenter their communities. Through the plan, Meggie moved into a soberliving house and has stayed sober. Hans now helps her and others with job placement, educational options, treatment, and family resources-a coordinated approach.
The Bible describes the strength of wise partnering. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up” (ECCLESIASTES 4:9-10). However, “pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up” (V. 10).
Like the “Stone Soup” folktale, where a hungry traveler invites townspeople to each share one ingredient to make a delicious soup for all, the Bible confirms we’re stronger and better together (V. 12). God’s plan is for us to live in community, helping others and receiving help in return. That’s no fairy tale; it’s truth for life. PATRICIA RAYBON
How can pooling our resources help us serve people better? What can you give to make a “stone soup” for your community?
Please bless me, dear God, to join others to help well.
