Day 75
Let us consider one another
to provoke unto love and to good works:
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another:
and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25 KJV
Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out,
not avoiding worshipping together as some do but spurring each other on,
especially as we see the big Day approaching.
The Message
The note struck in Hebrews 10
is that of provoking one another and of keeping together –
both of which require initiative, the initiative of Christ – realization,
not of self-realization.
To live a remote, retired, secluded life is the antipods of spirituality
as Jesus Christ taught it.
-Oswald Chambers “My Utmost For His Highest”
Lord, it would be so easy to withdraw from this world –
to stay at home – to read my books – to work in the garden –
to avoid all contact with the turmoil of this world –
but that is not what You ask of me.
