Scripture lesson: Hebrews 3:5-14 Remind each other

Time to reflect: Hebrew reminds us in this passage that Israel, following the Passover, crossing of the Red (Reed) Sea and everything still became discouraged and complaining when things became a little tough. Hebrews then goes on to tell us to encourage and shore one another up.

Moving through the day: Pray for strength in trying times. Pray for strength for others who are going through trying times. Encourage those in need.

 

Scripture:

^NRS Hebrews 3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. ⁶ Christ, however, was faithful over God's house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm the confidence and the pride that belong to hope. ⁷ ¶ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice, ⁸ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, as on the day of testing in the wilderness, ⁹ where your ancestors put me to the test, though they had seen my works ¹⁰ for forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.' ¹¹ As in my anger I swore, 'They will not enter my rest.'" ¹² Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. ¹³ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end.
