Spurring One Another On
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 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. - Hebrews 10:24-25
We are living in a time when people are falling away from the faith because they have not built a support system for their faith. The writer here at least implies that regularly meeting with other believers is critical to continuing in the faith.
We are being encouraged to consider how we can prevent this from happening. We must consider this: How can I inspire others to love more and serve better? To do this we have to get our mind off of our own needs and look to the needs of others. When we are asking, “What can I do help someone else in their journey of faith,” we are actually helping ourselves in our journey at the same time.
As times become hard it becomes all the more important to encourage one another in the faith. When others are in times of financial difficulty we need to consider how we can encourage them; when others are having relationship problems we need ask ourselves how we can serve them; when we see someone becoming distant in their faith we must find a way to “Spur them on to love and good deeds.
Prayer: Lord, I tend to look at others in terms of what they can do for me. Grant me the grace to look at others in terms of what I can do for them. Help m to purposes to spur others on to love and good deeds. In Jesus name, amen.
Message: We must consider this: How can I inspire others to love more and serve better? To do this we have to get our mind off of our own needs and look to the needs of others. When we are asking, “What can I do help someone else in their journey of faith,” we are actually helping ourselves in our journey at the same time.
Affirmation: I am intentional about encouragers in their faith journey and I am also intentional about gathering with other believers to build up my own faith.
Reflection: Our Scripture passage, Hebrews 10:24-25, has two messages. First, consider how we can encourage others in their journey of faith. Second, we are encouraged to continue meeting together so that our own faith will be reinforced. How do you see those two things being worked out in your life?
