Devotion:
Read Hebrews 10:19-25.
We have many privileges in our new life with Christ. Some of those include personal access to God through Christ, growing in faith, overcoming doubts and questions, deepening our relationship with God, persevering in our faith by encouraging one another to continue in good works and meeting together. One of the keys of a vibrant life of faith is the support and encouragement of fellow believers. If we neglect to meet together we give up the encouragement and help of other Christians. We gather together to share our faith and to strengthen one another in the LORD. As we get closer to the “Day” when Christ returns, we will face many spiritual challenges and possible persecution. Anti-Christian forces will grow in strength. Difficulties should never be excuses for missing church services. Rather, as difficulties arise, we should make an even greater effort to be faithful in attendance. Hopefully the safety precautions we have put in place during the pandemic have also reminded each of us how blessed we are to get to worship together. As we are able to do away with those precautions later this year, let’s all make a renewed commitment to worship together every chance we get.
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on your faith journey. Where do you need support and encouragement? How will you encourage someone today?
