Summary retelling of Hebrews 10:23-25
Therefore,
we hold fast to our confession of our hope without hesitation, because God is
faithful. Since we know God’s
faithfulness, we should encourage one another to love and to do good things in
response. We should continue to meet,
worship God together, and encourage one another – although some give up that
behavior – especially as the day of Christ’s return draws inevitably closer.
Thoughts for Today
First Thought:
God
is faithful. He promised a Messiah and
He delivered Christ. Through Christ, God
promised us the way to salvation. We
have absolutely no reason to not believe that God can deliver on that promise. God has yet to fail on any promise that He
has ever made.
Do
you ever doubt God? Why is doubt natural
within us? How hard is it to train
ourselves to not doubt when it comes to God and His promises?
Second Thought:
Since
God is so faithful, we should continue to gather in His name and worship
Him. Yes, it can be about
obedience. But we should be willing to
be obedient. We will never know when
Christ will come back for us or when our life will come to an end. We should be diligent in not putting off our
response to Him.
What
do you think God calls you to do in response to Him? How easy is it to do what God desires of you?
Third Thought:
We
need to encourage one another. The
simple truth is that when we are alone we tend to slack off. However, when we are with one another and in
the company of one another we can be strong because we can encourage each
other. Sometimes we can encourage one
another through guilt. Sometimes we can
use reason. Sometimes we can use
personal excitement. But the point is
that we should be encouraging one another into a stronger relationship with
God.
How
do spiritual people around you encourage you?
What methods work? What methods
don’t work? How can you encourage others
around you? Do you think God is calling
you to encourage other people in the faith?

This whole blog are things that I had been struggling with for quite sometime. I was wresting internally about my Faith and what I could believe. When I finally realized I had been running far and fast and that God is still faithful to me anyway it was like -mind blown- peeewwww...
Yeah. I am always amazed too when I realize places I've been running from God. The trick, though, is actually being willing to realize it. It is so easy to want to close our eyes to what we don't want God to have influence over!
And as you say .. even then He is still faithful.
