Exhorting One Another Daily

Hebrews 3:12–13
“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief… But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”

The writer of Hebrews issues a loving warning. Spiritual drift is rarely sudden—it is gradual, subtle, and deceitful. Hearts harden quietly. Faith erodes slowly. That is why exhortation is necessary, and why it must be daily.

To exhort is not to scold or shame. It is to come alongside with truth, concern, and urgency. Revival restores this kind of relational courage—the willingness to speak when silence would be easier.

Sin deceives by minimizing consequences and magnifying justifications. Exhortation interrupts that process. It shines light where shadows are forming. It reminds believers of truth before unbelief takes root.

Daily exhortation assumes proximity. You cannot exhort those you never see, know, or engage. Revival strengthens community so that believers are close enough to notice when someone is drifting.

This kind of exhortation must be grounded in love. Without love, it becomes harsh. Without truth, it becomes meaningless. Revival holds both together.

Ask God today to make you both exhortable and exhorting—humble enough to receive correction and loving enough to give it. The church is healthiest when believers watch over one another’s souls.

Today matters. “While it is called To day.” Revival is sustained one faithful conversation at a time.
