DAY 26 - Encourage one another

 DAY 26 - Encourage one another

Hebrews 3:13- “But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called “today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

This seems like a routine “Encourage one another” until you read it in context. 

The writer has surrounded this with one of the greatest displays of God’s anger in the bible. 

The prompting to encourage in this verse is more of a warning. It is saying we need to help each other away from disbelief…we need to watch each other so we don’t drift away and become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

One definition of “encourage” in websters dictionary is “to spur on” – I think that applies today.  We must spur each other on diligently as the consequences of sin and unbelief are real and we must help our brothers every day to avoid both.
