Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts (Hebrews)
"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourages one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first..."
--Hebrews 3:12-14
It is good to remember that we all have the tendency, at times, to be hardened when confronted by God, and, to have an unbelieving heart towards reality. In other words, we can have an unbelieving heart of who God is, who we are in relation to Him, and of His overwhelming presence always. Alas, we do not always like believing in reality. We sacrifice the real for the fake and would like to think we're happier there. Thanks and praise be to God that He continues to pursue us. He convicts us while we're in our futility and gives us another chance to live. Let us embrace His calling, lest we remain in that which is not instead of embracing that which is.
