Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 4:11 ESV; Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
The writer of Hebrews encourages us to rest in our faith. If we believe the promise of God and the grace of Jesus, we can rest. So, what is the “same sort of disobedience” we fall into like those in the desert under Moses that Hebrews is referring to? Do we take matters into our own hands? Do we really believe?
God was angered by those in the desert because they did not believe. He had spoken and promised them the land, but the people doubted when they looked to using their own strength. Do we do the same thing? Do we say we believe but live our lives every day as if it is up to us?
We have a choice today. We can find rest in faith or we can put things into our own hands.
Will you let go and rest?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father thank you for making everything complete. You said it was good and You built me. Your word Father has pierced my soul and I will hold firmly to Your word. Thank You for Jesus who understands my weaknesses and gave me grace. With this grace I confidently approach Your throne and believe. Help me to maintain my faith until the end. Amen
