“The same people who were delivered from bondage and brought out of Egypt by Moses, were the ones who heard and still rebelled. So God swore an oath that they would never enter into his calming place of rest all because they disobeyed him. It is clear that they could not enter into their inheritance because they wrapped their hearts in unbelief.”
This is a strong word and an admonishment by the author of Hebrews. It reminds us that seeing God’s miracles and experiencing God’s faithfulness and remaining in unbelief is viewed by God as rebellion. And the Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 15 that rebellion is like witchcraft. I’m bringing this word this morning, to encourage you not to fall into the trap of unbelief and despair. But instead stir up your most holy faith. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and let the word of the Lord and His faithfulness in your life be more powerful, be bigger than anything you see going on in the world around you. We are called and commanded by our Lord to be people of faith who walk by faith and not by sight.
