#soap # Hebrew 10 ## Title: Hold On to God and Each Other ## Scripture: (Hebrews 10:23-24) “And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy. And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,” (NET) ## Observation: There are many things that want to pull us away from our simple trust in God. There are enemies on the outside and enemies on the inside. We have to remember that God is worthy of our effort to not give up and to not grow weary. It is also important to remember that others are struggling as well. One of the greatest ways to overcome weariness is to focus on bringing joy to someone else. This may sound counterintuitive. When we are weary, most of the time, all we want to do is go rest. This is sometimes exactly what we need to do, especially if we are physically tired. I’m talking about something deeper. I’m talking about a weariness of the soul. The only thing that can heal a weary soul is time with God and serving others. You’re never closer to the heart of God than when you are serving someone else. ## Application: Spend time with God and encouraging someone today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us the way You do. Your promises are trustworthy.
