THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 11-22-06
HEBREWS WALK #50
HEBREWS 4:7
Again He limited a certain day, saying to David, today after so long a time; as it is said, today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts!
This is not the first time in this book that Paul has warned us not to harden our hearts! If our hearts are hardened - we have trouble hearing from God - we can get to a point where we no longer hear Him -its not that HE is not speaking either- its because we have failed to listen to Him - sometimes we will try to get by with a small sin(small to us-not to God!) and then that small sin leads to larger and larger sins - and before you know it your heart has become cold - and God simply cannot be heard through the deciefulness of sin - we must make it a point to live out of our realtionship with Jesus Christ and not out of our flesh - Jesus lived the perfect life without sin -He was pure and since HE lives in us - we too can live the life HE has called us to life - but not like some who feel if you dress right - look right -act right - you will be ok - the life JESUS lives in us should come naturally and not to be forced -either its there or its not - when our hearts become harded - we begin to miss what God is saying -and to not hear from God is a tregdy in itself -we need to hear from God so that we can walk in the way HE has called us - without Christ- the Bible is a just a book - we cannot gain anything from the Bible without hearing the voice of God - lets make sure our hearts are tender to HIS leading - lets make it a point to get away from everything that hinders our realtioship with Christ- lets be still and know that HE is GOD! amen!
A side note: Its been said that God gave us two ears and one month - this may be because we need to listen twice as much as we speak!
With CHRIST we are able to hear GOD!
