Encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception. —Hebrews 3:13
Every time I see Kathy, she is talking about the Lord.
Kathy and I attend church together. Occasionally, I bump into her in the grocery store. No matter what, Kathy always has a kind word to share. Most often it’s a Bible verse or a specific way she’s been praying. Instead of keeping these things to herself, she turns them into exhortations, reminders of our identity in Christ.
For Kathy, pointing others to Jesus is a lifestyle. She isn’t super-spiritual. She simply chooses to exhort others all around her every chance she gets.
Exhortation isn’t a Sunday morning activity. It’s an all day, everyday decision to speak life-giving words that point people to Jesus. It’s a little choice that makes a big difference.
Since we’re living in a “today” right this very moment, we don’t have to wait to apply this principle. Look into the eyes of those you around you and choose to live like Kathy. Speak a word of exhortation today.
