Tuesday Reading: Hebrews 10 23-25
 
Key Verse: Hebrews 10 24
24  and let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,
 
Devotion:
How wonderful it is to know that we have a Saviour that has done exactly what He said He would do – to come to earth to be our sacrifice so that our sins could be forgiven and that we could attain eternal life through Him. We have that open way to heaven. The gift that He has given us it waiting there for the picking. If He had not come to earth as a human, we would still be caught up in trying to find the best sacrifices we could to offer for our sins, hoping that they would pacify God.

 

It is one thing to believe that there is a God, but another to believe in Him! We need to be bold in our belief. We need to uphold our faith in Him. We need to show others that we do believe in what we say by following His Laws. When we see others around us that are struggling, then we need to show them compassion such as Christ would have show them. When we see the faith of those around us faltering, we need to help them to build it up again. How do we do that? We need to be there for them!

 

Just like Jesus Christ to come to earth to be with us, we have to take a bold step forward to be there for those around us. It is the physical presence that will most often sway the argument. Being there will allow you to explain things as they are needed. When we get called on to help others, it is best if we are with them so that we can help them directly. Jesus came to be our direct help-line, to help us understand our Heavenly Father's love for us. As we move ever closer to Christ's second coming, we need to make sure that those around us do not falter as the world gets ever more caught up in the ever increasing temptations that surround us each day. Being there to help someone will help them to see God's love at this time of year!

 

Points to Ponder:
Do you like to be with your friends when they need help?
 
Have you noticed how God is always there when you need Him?
