Hebrews 3:13
‘Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘today’, so that none of you may be hardened by sins deceitfulness.’
‘Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘today’, so that none of you may be hardened by sins deceitfulness.’
Surrounding these verses is the journey of God’s people ‘in the Old Testament from Egypt to Canaan. They were moving toward promised rest, and in the same way we are moving toward promised rest when we will see Christ and be made like him.’ (Sam Perry) As the Exodus people struggled to keep faith, so the early church, and today’s church. Part of the solution is to trust in God and to encourage each other daily in our Christian walk.
Reflection
Today take a moment to pray for someone who needs encouragement.
