Between Friends

Accountability

Encourage each other daily....so that none of you is hardened by sin's deception. Hebrews 3:13

“I will bless the Lord who counsels me—even at night my conscience instructs me. I keep the Lord in mind always.” (Psalm 16:7-8).

He's there. Wherever you are. Whatever you're feeling. Without having to play a silly mind game or pretend something that's not real, you can just believe the fact that God is always with you, His power always within reach, His help always a word away.

But when it's late, when you've had a tough day, when a drink is sounding awfully good, or the remote control is driving your TV through a bad section of town, the features on God's face can dim a little. His invisible presence can fade into forgetfulness.

But if you've got a couple of friends you've promised to stay accountable to, if you dread the thought of facing them without a clear conscience and a good word of testimony, you can flash their faces through your mind or make a quick phone call and remember what a holy life is worth.

Look, we're all in this thing together.

Look Up
Hebrews 3:12-14
