Today's reading: Numbers 3:1-26

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25

Among the Hebrew believers, there was the danger that they might tire as they walked by faith. Owing to the bitter persecution to which they were exposed, the tendency to return to Judaism had arisen, so that they might escape any pressure from outside, whether from the world or Jews. Therefore in the epistle to the Hebrews, the Holy Spirit constantly presents the Person of the Lord Jesus in various aspects, for occupation with Him is the only effective means to counter wearying on our pathway.
The habit of neglecting the gathering together had clearly increased among them. A lack of real satisfaction and joy in one's faith can easily lead to a diminishing interest in spiritual matters, while the neglect of spiritual food causes one's joy in the Lord to wane. This fateful vicious cycle can only be brought to an end by a decisive return to the things of the Lord.
Today's text shows that attending the meetings is closely connected with our relationship to one another. Where there is a real interest in others, and where a good example motivates others to "stir up love and good works", the practice of gathering together will not be taken lightly. All will take care that no-one "falls short of the grace of God" (Hebrews 12:15). Such concern will never find its expression in unfeeling criticism, but in a faithful example, through which, in seeking out others, one can serve them in a spirit of true love.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
