February 8 – Daily

As Christians, there are certain things we are exhorted to do daily. Some of these are:

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90v12

Here the Psalmist prays that God should teach us to number our days, not our years, not decades or birthdays that come and go, but each day, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

“And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9v23

Taking up the cross of God is not a thing of but Lord, yesterday, or the day before, or tomorrow, it is a daily thing that we have to do, to deny oneself and take up our cross daily. And we see here too, that Jesus said it to them all, and if any.. No exceptions.

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3v13

Sin is deceitful. The devil moves about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Once attacked today and victorious today, does not guarantee no attacks tomorrow. Thus, Paul exhorts believers to exhort one another daily, lest any of us be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Therefore, let’s encourage, exhort, uplift… one another everyday.

Verse for praise:

“Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” Psalm 40v5

Verse for thought:

“But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamour of his sin may play on him].” Hebrews 3v13 (Amplified Bible)
