CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works. Hebrews 10:24
The Body of Christ, the Church, must be careful to consider one another. To consider another is more than a casual thought, or a glimpse of regard. To consider another is to hold someone in your thoughts, bathe them in your prayers, ponder their situation to see if there is any need. As we consider one another we will discover ways in which we can be a blessing, compelled to good works.
Indeed, it is our Father's desire that we be clothed in good works. Jesus tells us in the Gospel of Matthew: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). Moreover, as we consider one another, we fulfill the call of Christ and manifest the good works He has planned for us: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10).
What good works are awaiting you as you consider another? What love is set to flow? We will, no doubt, provoke others to love and good works as they see God alive and moving in us.
Today, let us consider one another!
