Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year TwoSample

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted (Galatians 6:1 NKJV).

Am I my brother’s keeper?

We all have times when we see someone struggling spiritually or falling into temptation. Do we turn away, or do we reach out a hand? James 5 says, “if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back... he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:19–20 NKJV).

It’s not just a duty but a privilege to stand beside someone in their struggle, pointing them back to Jesus. Even Peter, who was a friend of James, denied Christ, but was later restored and called to strengthen his brothers (see Luke 22:32). Love others by holding them up when they’re weak. God can use you as His hands and voice to lift someone back onto the right path.

Employment Point: Seek to restore stumbling saints to Jesus.
