Encourage One Another

Living our lives in obedience to God is an honor and privilege, however many times over we choose that which is not God-like. We want to be famous, rich or respected at any or all costs. We must be very careful not to choose the way of evil and selfishness.

God tells us throughout the Bible what happens to those who hear the scripture and turn from our Lord’s way; after all Moses and his followers did not enter the Promised Land becuase of disobedience. We too have heard the gospel and must be prepared to follow through and do the right thing.

We should be honoring God not ourselves…we do this by following the commands of God and walking in love with others. Helping others become successful, reach their destiny or achieve that dream is our way of walking in love.

This does not mean we ignore our dreams but we make sure we are not stepping on others to fulfill our desires. God will open the doors to our success if we are traveling on the road that was laid out for us. When praying about our life works, contributing to others and participating as a follower of Jesus promotes our destiny.

Sharing the love of God, walking in the footsteps of Jesus (loving our neighbor) and being constant and committed in our faith allows the Holy Spirit to fill our soul with His grace.

Hebrews 3:12-13 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Let’s feel the peace given by God as we continue to develop our spiritual life through Bible studies and personal time in prayer. Honoring God is doing what God has planned for us to do. Be joyful and jubilant in our relationship and praise His name.
