Hebrews 3:6 “But Christ is faithful as a Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. 7 So, as the Holy Spirit says; “Today, if you hear His voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as you did in rebellion, during the times of testing in the desert,”. Do not harden our hearts!! When we willfully embrace the sin in our lives His Holy Spirit is nudging us to give up. We are hardening our hearts our hearts. I have embraced many sins that have lead me to a hardened heart, premarital sex, gluttony, lust, greed, worry, complaining……the list goes on and on. I have had thought, “I cant get rid of this, so I just wont try any more.” A hardened heart is a poison that spreads. If I compromise my convictions in one area of my life Pretty soon, I’m compromising in many areas. When I continue in willful rebellion in one area of my life, it infects all areas of my life. Be encouraged to “nip the bud” of a hardening heart. Many “sins” are acceptable behaviors in our society. We are His society, we are the house of God. Is His Holy Spirit convicting you to clean house? Be courageous and hopeful when you follow His way as difficult as it may be, you will enter into His rest!! Avoid 40 years in the desert! Do the hard correction today so you don’t suffer with a hardened heart tomorrow!
