Scripture lesson: Hebrews 3:7-14 Yes, God does get mad
Time to reflect: This is a stern warning from the New Testament (The Angry God isn't limited to the OT). There are three pieces: 1) Don't turn from God; 2) We need to be support to each other constantly; 3) We need to catch ourselves and others early so we don't become “hardened” (habitual) in our sin.
Moving through the day: Meditate on the strength of your relationship with God. Are you drifting away? Are you falling into some habitual sin? Are there those that need your help and support?
Warning against Unbelief
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
‘Today, if you hear his voice,
8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
as on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9where your ancestors put me to the test,
though they had seen my works 10for 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.”
11As in my anger I swore,
“They will not enter my rest.” ’
12Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But 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. 14For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end.
