Today
When
You Hear His Voice,
Don't
Harden Your Hearts
Scripture
Hebrews
3
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.
“Today
when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled.”[
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled.”[
Observation
Are
you hard headed?
Maybe
you are hard headed and you even boast and brag about it! Mean and
grouchy and proud of it! Maybe you tell everybody, “It is just the
way I am!”
Well
being hard headed and being hard heart-ed those are two peas in a
pod!
Yes,
even a Christian can have hard heart ... remember the writer of
Hebrews was writing to Christians.
If
we find ourselves distanced from God with a heart harden and deceived
by sin ... here is what you and I need to do – we need to turn back
to God, listen to His voice, and ask Him to forgive us of our sin.
We
need to admit to Him that we have sinned and we need to come back to
Him.
I
am praying for some people in my life that have allowed the
deceitfulness of sin to harden their hearts. I am asking God to melt
their hard hearts. I want them to come back to Him.
Do
you have a tender heart? Are you obedient to God's voice?
Today
when
you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts – so lets make
sure that things are right with God and right with those around us!
Application
Today,
when I hear God's voice I will say, “Yes” to Him. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, melt my heart. Don't let me be hard headed. Show me when I am
disobedient. Give me a heart that is sensitive to Your voice! I pray
for those who are caught up in sin whose hearts have become hardened.
Open up their eyes so that they can see what their lives are really
like and help them to repent. Soften their hearts, Lord, soften their
hearts. Break our hearts with what breaks Yours!
