Today’s Reading: Isaiah 15; Isaiah 16; Isaiah 17; Isaiah 18; Hebrews 10
Scripture: Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Observation: It's a simple and basic truth -- we need each other. And as the age draws to a close, things will get worse and we will need each other more. Notice he says "consider how".
Application: In other words, we have to give some serious thought as to how to push each other toward a more holy life. This speaks of accountability and partnership in the pursuit of godly living. And as we see today, neglecting the regular gathering was common at the time of the writing of this verse. But we need to help others to stay committed and connected.
Prayer: Lord, help us to connect with others to partner towards the kind of living that goes the distance. May we use Your creativity and motivation to help each other to living the life in the power of the Spirit so we may stand and endure with power and joy.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
