EXTRA MILE-3

Text :   Genesis 24:19. 

When she had finished giving him a drink, she also said, “I’ll also draw water for your camels until they’ve had enough to drink.”

The story was told of a 24 year old Isreali climber, Nadav Ben-Yehuda. He was

300 meters from the summit of Everest when he gave up his dream of conquering the planet's highest peak in order to save an injured Turkish climber. 

At a point, Ben-Yehuda had to choose between being the youngest Isreali to climb Everest, which will be great for his career or to try to take a climber who was at the point of death off the mountain. He chose the second option and became a 21st century example of what humanity should look like. 

People commented and are still commenting on his heroic acts. Generally, people are of the opinion that his action of helping to save another person's life is more laudable than his ambition of a great climber.

Ben-Yehuda went an extra-mile in showing kindness to a fellow man, and this is what God is expecting from you.

God wants you to be your brother's keeper. He positioned people around you so you will be of help to them in your own capacity. 

You need to ask yourself, "have I gone extra-mile for anyone in recent times?" When was the last time you showed act of kindness to someone?

You are an answer to someone's prayers, the same way God will make someone to be an answer to yours. How are you faring in this?* 

Bible Reading :Genesis 24:10-28.
