The
past, the future and the present are concepts that relate to all of
us. If we continually dwell on what has happened in the past, we fail
to live today. Should we become obsessed in wondering what will
happen in the future, we will forget to live in the “NOW”. And if
we forget that “Today” is really a gift then we miss the wonder
of living.
In
all these things, if we remember that our life is in reality a gift
from God, then we will do our best to live it in a way that will
please the Almighty. The writer of the book of Hebrews gives us a
very worthwhile admonition…
Hebrews
3 ( World English
Bible )
[12] Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; [13] but
exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today;”
lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
We
do not live solely for ourselves. Christianity is a religion of
fellowship; with both God and man. But sin can interfere with that
bond. Anyone can be deceived and lose their faith. The truth is that
we need not only God, but the encouragement of fellow Christians as
well. When do we need it?
Today
So
give your brother or sister in Christ an exhortation to be faithful;
they will be appreciate the gift.
