2 Thessalonians 2:5 (KJV) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? In order to remember one first has to know. I can’t express enough of our enemy that is out on a search and destroy mission. When laws change people may think that doing wrong is right. The bad thing is that some how they take Gods Word and try to make it agree with their sin. Have you ever heard this saying “God made me this way.”
Mark 4:19 (KJV) And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. How then is one to prevent this from ever happening? Great question let’s see what God Word has to say. Hebrews 3:13 (KJV) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Exhort, what does that mean? “to encourage” Encourage each other every day while you have the opportunity. Encouragement works both ways encourage each other. It’s mine and your job to daily encourage others. At the end of the day I should look back over the day and ask myself who did I encourage today? One might say I am an introvert I have a hard time doing that. What about those you come in contact with on a daily basic could you not say I like you tie, shirt, I like the way you _________. There is always something you can find to encourage another. Don’t you yourself like to be encouraged? You did a great job with that project, I am glad you work for us and not our competitor. A few years ago when I was trimming houses my boss told me I had to get this house finished and put a day I had to have it finished. I worked fast and hard and I had it finished on time. When my boss came and looked at the house to make sure it was ready he only saw and said one thing. It wasn't the words of encouragement oh no it was a mistake I had made and that is all he pointed out. On that day an opportunity was missed to encourage but it also it was a day of learning for me. What could I have possibly learned on that day when I could have been encouraged but wasn’t? I saw the value of encouragement. I told myself and asked the Lord to help never to make anyone feel like I felt that day when the words of encouragement would have meant so much.
