HARD HEARTED

 
 
Hebrews 3:7,8


"Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness.'" ESV


Human nature does not change over time. The children of Israel saw the mighty works of God, but still continually grumbled, complained, and strayed from the commands of God. Those are the very things we do today. If we do not let our hearts get hard like they did, we will reap the wonderful promises of God and enter His rest.


Heavenly Father, You have told us that we are to be eager, alert, watching, always praying. Forgive us for being like the Israelites in the wilderness, complaining that things are like they are or that You have not answered in the ways we think You should. Help us to always be open hearted and spiritually awake to Your working and be eager to experience Your mighty deeds that You do at all times. Keep us from complaining and growing cold in our walk. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

I was listening yesterday to a friend's pain when she stopped and said, "I don't want to be a grumbling Israelite--not content with what He gives." I agree, I don't either!
