From: The Word For Today - Bob Gass Ministries
Hebrews 3:13 "Encourage one another daily, while it is still 'today'..."
When times are tough we need encouragement to keep going. When we're on the brink of failure, the right word at the right time can keep us in the game. When we're too tired or discouraged to keep going, an act of compassion can give us new strength.
Encouragement is one of the central themes of the Bible: "Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad." (Proverbs 12:25)
Encouragement doesn't deny the problem; it enables us to overcome it. It doesn't validate stubbornness or stupidity; it simply corrects and guides us in the right path. It doesn't leave us alone to carry the burden, it lets us know that God is present to help and strengthen us.
Funny how when you encourage others, you also will be encouraged..."30, 60, or 100 times more!" Nothing gets by God! As He says in Matthew's Gospel , "...learn from Me for I am gentle and humble of heart..." So today, encourage somebody!
