Christ Church Daily Devotion Jan 4 2024

The scripture from Hebrews chapter 10 emphasizes the importance of supporting and encouraging one another in our faith. The Hebrews were drifting apart and not meeting together, so we must hold on to our hope and continue professing our faith. We should stimulate each other to show love and do good deeds, and always gather together. We need to hold on to God's promises and remember that He will never let us down. In times of trouble, we should pray, read the scriptures, and seek encouragement from others. Overall, we should strive to be proof of a loving God. Welcome to Christ Church's Daily Devotion for January 4th, 2024. Today, we will be reading from Hebrews chapter 10, verses 23 through 25. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day approaching. This scripture is talking about the importance of supporting one another in our faith. The Hebrews were drifting from their beliefs and had given up meeting with each other. We must hold on to the hope we profess, remembering God's promise of always being with us. We need to be able to continually profess our faith to others. We should stimulate one another to show love and do good deeds. Living the Christian life means encouraging other believers to be loving, to spend our time doing good deeds, and be diligent in gathering together. Choose today to hold on to God's promises without wavering. Hold on to the promises in the Bible like your life depends on it. Hold on to what God says and know that God will always come through for us on his promises. He will never let you down or leave you. In the storms of life, when it seems that God is not with us, help us to pray, read the scriptures, and seek out the encouragement from each other around us. God empowers us to share life together as the body of Christ. We are to be proof of a loving God. Today's personal worship option, Dear God, when we are troubled, tired, and discouraged, help us to seek you and feel your spirit within us. Sometimes, it is hard to hold fast to our faith. Please help us reach out to others who can give us perspective and encouragement. Thank you for your unending love. Amen.
