Building One Another Up

A part of pressing on is building one another up. I know it sounds like encouraging one another and it is in a way. Actually I call it the next step to encouraging one another.

What I mean by that is building up is a part of encouraging. The next step means that we are already being encouraged and building up adds on to the encouragement. Other words we are doing well so building up encourages us to take another step. This helps us not to become discouraged in the process but to be even more encouraged. In a way it is us saying “we can do it and a lot more”.

So whatever you are doing that is successful continue to do it and the things that you are doing that do not seem successful at this time continue to press on because you will finish what you are trying to accomplish.  In any endeavor there is going to be highs and lows. I have heard it before “sometimes you have to take one step back before taking two steps forward”.

When life becomes easy is when we have to be concerned what will happen next. Something hard is right around the corner and we will learn a new thing.  It is a new test for us to see whether we can accomplish a new task. This is where building up happens as well. If you are playing a sport to become a champion you have to take another step to get there. You may have to add to your plan to get more victories. You must recognize your weaknesses along with your strengths. You may have to let go of a player that is a weakness and add another that will add strength. You may have to add more to your playbook as well.

So when you are together with those that you spend time together with whether at work or in the other area of daily life build one another up to become more than you are right now. Amen!
