Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
What of Today’s Verse…
How serious are we about sin? The Bible reminds us how seriously God views it. The power of sin to entice us, entrap us, and ultimately engulf us in its power can be offset by loving Christian friends who encourage each other daily.
Let us Pray:
Father, I know sin’s power is deceptive. Help me see those who need my encouragement today, so that together, we can help each other escape sin’s traps. In the name of Jesus, who withstood all Satan’s tests, I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Life is difficult…
Here’s a little secret and a paradox. Once you truly accept the fact that life is difficult, it becomes vastly easier. When you stop fighting with life and accept it for what it is – the ultimate challenge – that acceptance gives you the perspective you need to overcome any obstacle. When you understand that life is a challenge, then you start to seek challenges, and those challenges build and shape a life of purpose and accomplishment.
We waste so much time trying to make life easy, when we could be spending our energy making life good. Turning obstacles into achievements is the very essence of life.
Joy comes not from comfort, but from living and contributing and achieving.
I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.
-John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
