Hebrews 10:24 The author of Hebrews wasn’t issuing a new decree, he was confirming something that has been around since the Beginning. After Adam ‘meets’ and names all the critters God created, livestock, birds of the air and every wild beast of the sea, God created a ‘helper’ for him. One found to be suitable, adapted to and complementary for him… a human relationship. Relationships are important, perhaps it can be said that relationships have a place in the top five of our priorities. The first commandment Jesus confirms, is our love for and in our relationship with God, our top priority. And the second Commandment is to love others as we love ourselves. If these are our top priorities, everything else falls into place. Our spiritual walk, our families, our work and what we do in our spare time lines with who we are in Him and Who He is in us. In Him, we find out how to serve one another without exception, we’re not to lose sight of our relationship with each other and We’re to watch over each other and consider how to show our love through what we do. God created us for Fellowship. We’re not islands in the sea, seeking after personal satisfaction and seeking our own glory. 1 Corinthians 13 reveals our relationships are founded on the bedrock of love, God’s love and loving others, putting others first. Relationships can be hard, difficult even, being unique can have its challenges. Perhaps if we were to overcome spirits of Pride and Selfishness through Humility we could begin to focus on something bigger than what we see with the eyes of our flesh. God meets us where we are so this must be the place we go to in watching over others, to be helpful… to do good things. Lord, reveal opportunities for relationships, new ones and ways to keep the old ones fresh. Help us to hold the relationships we have close, and allow us to be open to the ‘more’ … more of what You have for us.
