Today in my blog, I wanted to focus on the importance of fellowship in our Christian walk. I happened to be reminded of this in listening to our devotional this morning.  Various parts of The Pilgrims Progress was read.  The part where Little Pilgrim and his companion had to keep each other awake by dwelling on the things of God was very poignant. If they didn’t, they would fall asleep and be overcome.

The Christian life shouldn’t be approached in a sleepy, laid-back way.  Our Enemy is like a lion seeking his prey.  Satan wants to use any means he can to lull us to sleep.  When we are in this state, our effect as witnesses will be hindered. The Body of Christ is vital in reminding each other about Godly principles and promises.

I can say for myself, brothers and sisters in Christ have been vital in restoring my moments of depression.  Sharing the goodness of God has a way of lifting an individual out of their pit.  I also love it when the Spirit has enabled me to be used in encouraging His people.  God help me be ready with my armor on!
