11/1/2010 - Hebrews 3:12-15 Rebellious And Not Even Knowing It

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 3:12-15 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. 13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. 15 Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.”

OBSERVATION: Part of what God expects of us is simply faith. Being unbelieving causes us to turn away from the living God. Our job is to trust God as firmly now as we did when we came to Christ. How often do we ignore God when He is talking to our hearts. We call it distraction, or the flesh or "my right to choose"; God calls it rebellion!

APPLICATION: I need to be very careful to hear what God says to me. I don't want to be in rebellion but, sometimes, I just close my ears and rebellion is what God calls this.

PRAYER: Lord, forgive me for not listening to You more closely. I want to obey. I need Your grace. Please help me.
