Going Higher
By
Jayme Hull
Picnic
time is just around the corner. Everyone has a favorite cookout smell that
brings back good times and memories. One of my Dad’s favorite sandwiches is a
good ol’ American hot dog.
Last
year, while Dad was visiting, we planned a special picnic get-together. When I
went to the grocery store I had forgotten how large a selection of hot dogs we
have to pick from! One brand caught my eye in particular, the “Hebrew National.” Even more profound than their brand name was
their slogan:
“We
answer to a higher authority.”
I
chuckled, “Hey, so do I!” Of course, my curiosity converted me into a consumer—I
bought the dogs. I have to admit the hot dogs were juicy and delicious.
So,
here is today’s question: “What is your slogan?”
Do
you answer to a higher authority?
If
Christian women of today would live like we answer to a higher authority, our lives and families would look
different. This is what mentoring is all about. Helping woman realize they are
blessed and privileged to answer to a higher authority.
You may
be asking:
1.
How
do I mentor others?
2.
What
does mentoring look like?
Here is
an example:
Young Woman: I just don’t understand how to
hear God’s voice.
Mentor: No worries, this is a common
question. I can give you an example. I am married and I spend all my time with
my husband. I communicate with him and I know what he thinks and how he lives
his life. When my husband calls me on the phone, he doesn’t have to say, “Hi
honey. This is your husband.”
You see,
the minute he says my name I know who he is because I know his voice. I have
spent quality time with him and know him inside and out.
As you
spend more time in God’s Word you begin to learn His character. You will
recognize His commands and His love.
Before I
end my time mentoring I always pray over the young believer and encourage her
to seek and answer to the higher authority in Jesus Christ.
Even more
exciting—as a mentor, you will walk away renewed in your own faith. Scripture
says as you refresh others, you yourself will be refreshed. Be encouraged as
you mentor the next generation of believers. God will bless you as you pour
your life into others.
Jayme’s ministry is focused on
mentoring others with a clear and strong biblical foundation. She is a graduate
of New York University, and currently a Bible Study teacher, piano teacher and
mentor to numerous women of all ages. She and her husband, John, currently live
in Nashville, TN.
