Love it! It was 13 degrees here this morning. :)

Adorable, MEG! Most of our trees are bare, except for our ornamental pears. They’re still mostly green, with some yellow. We’re feeding the birds and squirrels about three to four times a day, with a mixture of suet, sunflower seeds and some almonds. It’s a day-long smorgasbord. :)

No shoveling...it’s just a “dusting”. :-)

Alert Circles

Bible in a Year:

• Lamentations 3–5
• Hebrews 10:19–39

Encourage one another and build each other up. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

African gazelles instinctively form “alert circles” while resting on the savannah. They gather in groups with each animal facing outward in a slightly different direction. This enables them to scan the horizon a full 360 degrees and to communicate about approaching dangers or opportunities.

Instead of looking out only for themselves, the members of the group take care of one another. This is also God’s wisdom for followers of Jesus. The Bible encourages us, “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together” (Hebrews 10:24–25).

Christians were never intended to go it alone, explains the writer of Hebrews. Together we are stronger. We’re able to “[encourage] one another” (v. 25), to “comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God” (2 Corinthians 1:4), and to help each other stay alert to the efforts of our enemy the devil, who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

The goal of our care for each other is so much more than survival. It’s to make us like Jesus: loving and effective servants of God in this world—people who together look forward confidently to the hope of His coming kingdom. All of us need encouragement, and God will help us help each other as together we draw near to Him in love.

Reflect & Pray

How do you receive strength and help from other believers? Who can you encourage with God’s love?

Thank You for Your faithfulness, loving God. Please help me to encourage others to look forward to You today!
