We Need Our Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST Daily
Hebrews 3:12-13
(In Context with Hebrews 3)

As I found myself in my morning studies not too long ago, I found myself lingering over Hebrews 3:12-13, here is what those verses have to say :> Watch out brothers and sisters, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the LIVING GOD.
But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so none of you is hardened by sin’s deception. (CSB)
In verse 12 of Hebrews 3, the writer is warning believers in CHRIST, who are called “brothers” and "sisters" to watch out for evil. The fact of the matter is that evil is always lurking around somewhere. So as believers in CHRIST, we must always be on guard, so as to not have this evil unbelieving type of heart that turns us away from, and stripes our desire to pursue after GOD. Then you get to verse 13 of Hebrews 3, where we are through the bible, GOD’S HOLY WORD to encourage each other daily, while it is still called “today.” So whatever day you are in, you are called to encourage your brothers and sisters in CHRIST today, and if it is the LORD will, tomorrow as well.
So husbands you should be leading and encouraging your wives daily in the LORD, open your bibles together, and wives if your husband isn’t doing that for you, you should ask them why not? But wives you should also be encouraging your husbands daily through the WORD as well. You should constantly be pushing each other closer to GOD, and in doing so, it will bring your family closer together. Then pour into your children daily as well by encouraging them in and through the WORD. It does not matter how old or young they are.
To those of you who are single or widowed, find brothers and sisters in CHRIST that you can do life together. So meaning people you can be encouraged by, and also encourage through the scriptures. Too often American Christianity in regards to a gathering happens only on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights, but should be a daily thing. Why? Just look at the end of verse 13 of Hebrews 3. Here is what it says. …” So none of you are hardened by sin’s deception” (CSB)
My prayer: Oh, FATHER we just submit ourselves before YOU, and ask that YOU would help us to do as YOUR WORD says.That we would be a people who would find delight in doing life together each day by encouraging one another in and through YOUR WORD. LORD my heart grieves for the fact that it seems that nowadays the only time the WORD is really talked about is on a Sunday morning or a Wednesday night. LORD let that not be so.
Light our hearts on fire for YOU, and YOUR HOLY WORD. LORD help us to do life together daily, even on those days that might be hard so that none of us become hardened by sin’s deception as YOUR WORD talked about in Hebrews 3:13. I pray all this in THE MIGHTY NAME of JESUS, Amen!
If you have found this to be an encouragement to you, feel free to share!
