'Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness' (Hebrews 3:8).
After God, through Moses delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt, they experienced the miraculous hand of God throughout their journey. However, that didn't stop them giving Moses a hard time or complaining and rebelling against God. They came to the border of the Promised Land and lost trust and confidence in the God who gave them deliverance from slavery in Egypt. As a result, it was only a remnant that was allowed to enter Canaan. As believers, we are edging towards our Promised Land where Christ will be with us for eternity. Therefore, we need to fully trust God and allow him to lead us, so we can experience the fulfilment of His promises. We must never lose sight of our spiritual inheritance which is promised in Christ. Let us hold steadfast to our faith, and not be tempted to lose sight of it, in the face of adversity and persecution; but to have confidence in our Saviour, Jesus Christ and to keep trusting God. The miracles in our lives, may seem to differ from those experienced by the Children of Israel; but if we mistrust and disbelieve God, the end result is the same - death and losing out of the promise eternity with Christ. Let us learn to listen when God speaks; listen to his instruction, and pay attention to his teaching, keeping them in our hearts that we may not sin against Him. Let us learn from the mistakes of Israel and not harden our hearts, or rebel against God as our forefathers did. Instead Let us rejoice and give praise to the God of our salvation; be obedient and seek to live godly lives in Christ, that will fit us for heaven.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
