When trials come, the greatest leaders of all, the wisest ones, will then turn their eyes toward heaven.
David Jeremiah

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25

 

Recommended Reading Hebrews 10:19-25

There was a recent newspaper story about a woman in Tel Aviv who decided to do something nice for her elderly mother.  She bought her a new mattress.  The woman's bed was hard and lumpy; so as a surprise this woman had her mother's old mattress carted off to the junk yard, and she replaced it with a brand new one.  As it turns out, the older woman had hidden her life's savings in that mattress.  It was stuffed with over one million dollars.  They haven't found it yet, and an Israeli newspaper ran a picture of a woman desperately combing through a junkyard in southern Israel without success.

Sometimes new, younger, succeeding generations of people can toss away something that's very valuable without realizing its worth.  Take church attendance, for example.  Sometimes we avoid or discard the very thing we need the most. During challenging times, it's vital for us to stay connected to a healthy church where we can be encouraged, nurtured, and helped.  Let's not forsake the assembling of ourselves together.
