From the These Days devotional booklet:




By Irene Pak Lee, Presbyterian associate pastor in San Jose:
Up and Down
Then the Lord called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!" and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me," But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. (1 Samuel 3:4-5)
The first time I took my two-year-old out on a scooter, he was excited to try it out. I did a short demonstration, and he was ready. With a huge grin, he got on and did it for about five seconds. In that sixth second, he began to slowly lose his balance, and his little voice exclaimed "Whoa!" as he fell down.

Without skipping a beat and with a smile on his face, he got back up and tried again. He fell and got back up three or four more times before a look of discouragement began to form on his face. After that, whenever we would try, I had to demonstrate again before he would do it, and how he's a pro.
I am reminded that we all need guidance and encouragement when we are up and when we are down. We need to find those voices who will tell us the truth and perceive what is happening around us. Who is that for you? Are you that voice for someone else?
Holy God, may we be the one to lift someone up today. Amen
