Karlyn - Hebrews 6-7

Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July long weekend!

S - 6:10,12 For God is not unjust, He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do...Then you will not become spriritually dull and indifferent....
7:19  For the law never made anything perfect, for now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

O - The cure for spiritual dullness and indifference = actively caring for other believers!

A - Because of pride and selfishness I get very caught up with the fact that there are very few workers in our church but lots of people who could be and should be working.  Many times I focus my heart on why aren't they doing their part can't they see how hard I'm working...and on and on and on.  These verses in chapters 6 are a NICE reminder that if I was to CARE for other believers and not fuss at them in my mind I wouldn't become dull and indifferent.  Caring for other believers is something I don't do well because I think many times I perceive that they're already believers so they should just jump in there and help the rest of us care for these people that aren't believers.
 
Just like many things in my life I have it backwards!  I need to care for believers first so that the non-believers will see our love for each other and desire that love and see that our spirituality isn't dull and indifferent but VIBRANT and personal. 

P - Father thank you for giving us each other to walk together.  Thanks you that I don't have to be a christian by myself.  father I pray that you will change my heart and show me how to take care of the believers around me.  Give me a desire to give them the unconditional love, forgiveness, and  friendship you give me.  Thank you that we don't live by the law but by your grace.  God I pray blessings on Ginny, Cindy, Amber, and Jen today.  Whatever they are longing for in you this week I pray that you pour it out on them!  Thank you that they lift me up and care for me!
