'Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God' (Hebrews 3:12).
God is a loving God, who do not wish for any of us to perish, but to have eternal life. That's the reason He send His Son Jesus Christ to take that death we deserved as sinners, so we can have eternal life with Him. After Israel's deliverance from being captive in Egypt and through the Red Sea experience, they came right on the border of the Promised Land but lost their trust and confidence in God. Due to their lack of confidence in Him, He allowed them to wander in the wilderness for forty years, and not seeing the promised land, except for Joshua and Caleb along with the younger generation, who didn't experience captivity in Egypt. We need to hold fast our faith in God, in every situation; whether it be through afflictions or persecutions, let us not lose faith. We ought to be thankful for Jesus Christ, and that as believers, we are saved from eternal death, and is promised eternal life through Christ. We therefore need to encourage each other to trust God wholeheartedly, that we may be able to see the fulfillment of His precious promises. Let us not make the same mistakes Israel made, but to endeavour to learn from them. We saw Israel time and time again, murmured against God and complained and fell from His grace. They suffered much because of their unbelief, therefore dishonouring God. Our loving God, doesn't want that for his Children. He wants us to prosper, trust Him, be confident in his promises and for us to live with him for eternity. We are therefore warned, to take heed, lest there be in any of us an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God. Let us by faith, trust in God that we may not fall from grace, or bring dishonor to our God, but to obey His Word and complete the work He commissioned us to do. Let us take special care, not to allow doubt and unbelief to fill our heart, but by the power of the Holy Spirit purpose in our hearts to live a victorious life in Christ that honour our God and bring glory to him.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
