SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 02-03-03
My
Worship Time Focus:
The Word Discovers Our Condition
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 4:11
1. Message of the verse: “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that
rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.” (NKJV)
“Let us do our best to enter that place of rest. For anyone who disobeys God, as the people of
Israel did, will fall.” (NLT)
This
section of three verses focuses upon the Word of God, and how it discovers our
condition. In verse eleven the writer
says that we need to be diligent to enter that rest, and then goes on to talk
about the example of the people of Israel which is recorded in Scripture in
different places. In 1Cornthians 10:6
Paul speaks of the example that the children of Israel gave to us by saying,
“Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust
after evil things as they also lusted.”
They are an example to us because their story is written in the Word of
God.
2. Spiritual meaning for my life today: I think that it is very interesting to see
how two very important verses of Scripture are related, and if I remember
correctly when I was going over 1Corthians 10 in my study of the New Testament
I could see the connection between 1Cor. 10:13 and Hebrews 4:12. The verses that surround both of these
passages are talking about the struggles of the Children of Israel in the
wilderness and how they can be an example to us.
The Word of God was refreshing to me today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: I
still have a desire to go and speak to the people at the gas station about the
price they had on the pump the other day.
Memory verse for the week:
1Peter 4:10
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve
others.
