Exhort one another every day

Reading: 1 Kings 1, 1 Chronicles 27, Hebrews 3

Scripture: Hebrews 3:13-14, But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

Thoughts: The Media, and the influences of the evil one does not take a day off. Over this last week I has a sin come back into my life that I thought God had given me freedom from but the temptation came back into my life. We need to be in community that that we can exhort each other daily. Are we in daily conversation with those who will build us up and point us to the Lord? Every day there are new temptations that bombard us, from coveting the thing your neighbor has, to the ladies who choose to wear reveling clothing because is fashionable and the thoughts that are provoked by seeing or almost seeing things. 

Prayer: Father God, as so many sins become common place and acceptable to much of the world, help us to be the men and women that you have called us to be, help us to find those who will call us out on those things in our lives that could cause us or others to stumble. Help us to walk in your continual growth and sanctification. Help us to be people who call out others but also be receptive to being called out.
