Today I will

Way too often I feel as believers we prolong action in our faith. For example: Tomorrow I will start reading my bible daily. Next week I will start to pray more. Tomorrow I will start to pray before I go to bed. Next time I see someone in need I will help them. Etc.

I am 110% guilty of this. There are always times that I want to keep putting things off because our relationships with Christ aren’t something where we receive instant gratification. I know that Christ isn’t going anywhere so I always think I have time to wait and put things off. 

But what I have learned this morning is that we must encourage one another on a daily basis. 

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that no none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (Hebrews 3:13)

What actually ends up happening is that the more we continue to put things off the more we are alone in our sin. 

But God can give us new hearts, new desires, and new spirits. 

To prevent wanting to keep pushing things out, or waiting, we must stay in fellowship with other believers. We need to talk daily about our mutual faith, and be aware of the deceitfulness of sin, and encourage each other with love always. 

Today I encourage you to get started. If you read this and you feel as if your heart strings are being pulled, don’t wait any longer. Sit down and open the word today. Call or text a friend who you want to talk about your faith with. Don’t ever have a fear that everyone is doing this well. We all struggle and we are all not perfect. But I will tell you this, there is not a better time to take action than today.
