God Desires Us Be Courageous
Those who rebelled against God
in the days of the wilderness
wanderings were excluded from
His rest in the Promised Land.
However, for the people of God
today there exists an even better
rest than that – the one His Son
spoke about. Since the promise
of entering His rest still stands,
let’s enter and enjoy it.
Lord, we will Be Courageous:
Moses indeed was faithful
in all His house as a servant…
We are God’s household, if we Keep
Up our Courage & remain confident
in our hope in Christ (Heb 3:5-6).
That is why today when
you hear the Spirit’s voice,
Don’t Harden Your hearts (v7-8).
Lord, it is a calling for all of us
to see to it that none of us has
a sinful, Unbelieving heart that
turns from You the living God;
but exhorting one another daily…
It is said: Today if you will hear
His voice, do not harden your
hearts as in the rebellion (v12-15).
Father God, thank You for making
me a part of Your household.
Holy Spirit, fill me and renew
my confidence in Christ Jesus and
in His finished work on the cross.
Strengthen me to keep up courage,
empower me to believe Your Word,
to listen attentively to Your voice
and to remain confident because
my hope is in Christ. Amen.
Lord, You are constantly calling
us towards the place of fruitfulness
and fulfilment that You intend for us.
Yet we find it easy to ignore You or
push Your voice to back of our mind.
Forgive us Lord our negligence
and even our rebellious attitude.
Grant us Soft Heart to Listen to You;
and make us sensitive to everything
that You have to say to us. Amen.
Lord, let me be encouraged in Your
truth & show me the way that I can
be instrument of encouragement.
Let me be sensitive to others; and
keep me from any discouraging
action or word to others each day.
Encourage Lord the hearts of my
friends and loved ones; and keep
discouraging people far far away
from them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
