Verse
So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness..."
— Hebrews 3:7-8 tniv
Thought
God has spoken to the hearts of his human children over the centuries inviting them back into relationship. These Spirit-inspired messages came in many and various forms, but the clearest came through Jesus (Hebrews 1:1-3). Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus speaks to us and to those around us, inviting us to come home to the Father. Yet we must respond, or our hearts harden and we end up never responding to the message of grace. The message of the Holy Spirit, uttered over and over through the centuries, now comes to you and me today: "Hear his voice! Don't harden your hearts!" How will we respond today?
Prayer
O Father, I want to be a tender heart that responds to the Holy Spirit's invitation to hear your voice and respond to your grace. I ask that the Holy Spirit convict me of my sins, help me take notice of my vulnerabilities, strengthen my weaknesses, and empower me to be more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
