God's Exceptional Choice
Out of Slavery - Into Nationhood
Song of Moses
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Hebrews 3:7-19 English Standard VersionA Rest for the People of God7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, 'They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.'
11 As I swore in my wrath,
'They shall not enter my rest.'" 12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said, "Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." 16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
For Reflection
Enter God's rest. What a comforting idea that we would be able to achieve the peace of a resting God. God offers relief to those who are frustrated by our current condition. All we have to do is repent, join the fellowship of believers, and obey God's will for our lives. PrayPray that you dare to become dead to this world and embrace the Kingdom of God.
