Hebrews
3:13
"But
encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of
you may be hardened by it's deceitfulness." NIV
"But exhort
one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through
the deceitfulness of sin." KJV
Just what does it
mean to exhort? It is defined as a serious urging, advising, cautioning, and
warning. We all work together as Christians to help one another stay on the
narrow path of righteousness. In this world, it is so easy to get distracted and
get off on little side roads only to find ourselves lost and confused. It is our
responsibility as fellow Christians to exhort one another when we see one
getting sidetracked. If we do this in love and humility, God will honor it and
we will be open to the exhortation of our brothers and sisters in
Christ.
Heavenly Father,
how thankful we are for the body of believers that You have given us to help us
stay on the path You have laid out for us. Help us to receive exhortation and to
give it as You lay it on our hearts. May we give and receive it in love and
humbleness. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
