Hold On

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Hebrews 10:24-25

With a troubled mind about differences in expectations, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the above verses. 

2-3 years ago, the Holy Spirit prompted me that a season of shaking and sifting was to occur. What I didn't realise that this season continues and with the pandemic the shaking continues. 

Now, systems are collapsing. Networks are breaking. What had been built has been shaking. Holes and cracks are forming. Weeds are invading and taking hold. 

If we are not careful, our foundations will be attacked. Where are our foundations built?

When the systems them holds our faith is taken away, what holds our faith? When the networks that reinforces the strength of our beliefs are disconnected, what fuels our beliefs?

This verses reminds me even more timely so, that the closer the Day is approaching the harder it will be for is to stay in fellowship. 

But may God grant us creativity to sustain fellowship, to encourage one another and to create the environment for the next generation too, to navigate these society and times that are getting increasingly complex. 

May the fellowship of the Church judge less. Encourage more. Sow more.

For the judgement day draws near. But before that comes may us believers hold tight and support one another to get to the finishing line as one.

Praying.
