Contemplative Bible Reading

Hebrews 10:24 (New Living Translation)

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

I love the words used in this translation. Notice how the verse combines the intellect, emotion, and action of serving our Lord. There is the thinking of ways that lead to an emotional motivation. These then lead to actions in the real world. We think, we feel, we do: all in service to our Lord directed towards other persons.

This is all pretty simple when expressed in this sentence. Sometimes we beat a dead horse (excuse the old country cliche).
