Take Care

Hebrew 3 says this:

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.  But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 

The subtitle/heading in my bible above these verses says “The Peril of Unbelief.”  Did you know that unbelief is a peril? In fact, in these verses it’s also called evil.

We all experience doubts from time to time, and then we rein our hearts and minds back into the truth and trust again. 

But when we “fall away” from believing into unbelief in the very foundation of our faith – Christ Jesus – it’s just like walking out into a storm of the worst kind – with the worst consequences.

The next verse is an instruction to encourage each other every day, so that our hearts don’t harden through deceit.

If you’re struggling with unbelief, seek encouragement and choose to believe.

If you know someone who is struggling, send encouragement their way.  And do it today.
