See To It

Looking at Hebrews 12 with a friend the other day and this section stood out. 12:12 Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed. 14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; 16 that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal." Before the, therefore, is the section about the Lord's discipline, so no believer has an accident, God is in control, if stuff is happening in your life, He knows, He cares, He wants to help you through, and use it all for the good of His Kingdom. Our fellow believers may be under the Lords discipline and that is our opportunity to strengthen them, and make there path a little straighter and in general help them throught that time. SEE TO IT the emphasis is on the love that we can show the life that we an bring into their life and situation that will keep them from being overwhelmed and making a poor decision like Esau did. By allowing the Lord to guard our heart and not let a root of bitterness spring up, we are a fountain of living water for the believers around us and we can SEE TO IT THAT NO ONE COMES SHORT OF THE GRACE OF GOD That is a high calling in the Messiah Yeshua, for sure!
