"I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such" (1 Cor. 16:17-18).
Although the Apostle Paul was close to the Lord, he wasn't immune from the heartaches and headaches of life. He had needs just like we all do and was humble enough to admit it. Paul wasn't to proud to ask for help or to acknowledge those who were a refreshing to his spirit.
As Paul needed the help and encouragement of others, so do we and others that God has placed in our lives. In proverbs we read, "A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!" (Prov. 15:23). Make a persons day by reaching out to them with a word or encouragement or by offering them a helping hand. Be a refreshing to someone's spirit today.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
