CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

I need encouragement

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, …. but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” — Hebrews 10:24-25

The word for “encouraging” here means literally “to stand alongside.” It has to do with assuring someone that you care, strengthening them by being there for them. It’s also similar to a word used to describe the Holy Spirit; which means “counselor, advocate.”

Who needs to be encouraged today? We all do. Yes! There’s nothing wrong with needing encouragement. Jesus did. An angel encouraged him as he struggled alone one night, knowing he would soon be arrested and crucified Luke 22:43.

Our loved ones and neighbors need encouragement. One may be a student leaving home for school. Another may be a tired, exhausted mother facing the stress of child care. Another may be a couple having a difficult marriage. Another may be a widow or widower facing long, lonely days. Our children’s teachers, our worship leaders, pastors, elders all of these people need encouragement. People who need encouragement are not far away.

Being an encourager is a loving and healthy habit that will always be cherished for making life better, easy, and fruitful for others. Therefore, let’s always make effort to encourage each other as God intends for his glory.

PRAYER

Lord, thank you for the encouragement we have in Christ. Help me to encourage others as you expect of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
