Hebrews 3:13: "But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin's deception."
Imagine for a moment a world without signs. How would we even know where to go or how to get there? Think about how dangerous driving would be if all the caution signs suddenly disappeared. Consider how many people might get hurt walking too near an unmarked construction site, or taking unlabeled medicine.
Thankfully, warning signs appear everywhere. In fact, we see so many that we often times ignore the ones we see. We need the warning signs.
In verse 13 in Hebrews 13, the writer gives us a warning. We must not let the tests of life harden our hearts against God. Instead, we must encourage each other to persevere in our faith and walk with Christ.
The journey of faith is a lifelong trek, requiring us to navigate the twists, turns, and detours of life that put our faith to the test. We have a mutual responsibility to warn and encourage one another daily.
Who do you have in your life that encourages you to keep the faith? If you cannot think of anyone, it probably means you are not plugged into a local church. If not, prayerfully find a church that is doctrinally sound and seeks to build your faith.
Second, who are you encouraging in their walk with the Lord? If no one comes to mind, ask the Lord to direct you to someone who needs a kind word and prayer.
Don't neglect the warning signs in your life. Allow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to keep you on the right road today.
Serving Christ, Loving Others, and Growing Together,
Bryan
