The Importance of Obeying God (Heb. 3:18-19)


SPIRITUAL DIARY

 

                                                                                                            Date:  01-22-03

 

My Worship Time                              Focus:  The Importance of Obeying God

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                         Reference:  Hebrews 3:18-19

 

            1.  Message of the verse:  “And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”  (NKJV)  “And to whom was God speaking when He vowed that they would never enter His place of rest?  He was speaking to those who disobeyed Him.  So we that they were not allowed to enter His rest because of their unbelief.”  (NLT)

            This verse concludes this exhortation and gives the example to whom the writer is speaking about.  The writer is speaking about the children of Israel who were not permitted to enter the promise land because they believed the majority report that they could not concur the giants who lived in the promise land.  As stated before these people had seen many miracles done by God to get them out of Egypt and also to keep them going while on their way to the promise land.  The sin that kept them out of the promise land was the sin of unbelief.  They did not have faith that God could concur the giants in the land for them.

 

            2.  Spiritual meaning for my life today:  I see from these verse that I need to trust the Lord for everything in my life, even though things do not seem to be going right I need to trust the Lord to work things out for good.

 

The Word of God continues to teach me the benefits of trusting the Lord.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  I trust the Lord to work thing out for this situation with Dave and his birthday party and also the things that are going on between he and us.

 

Memory verse for the week:  Romans 12:5  (NIV)

 

So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
