Hebrews 10

 

Hebrews 10.32 Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.^* Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering.

Many years ago the Holy Spirit showed me to stay off the computer in the morning and my phone. To give Him the first fruits of the morning. No TV, no computer, no work …. Just him. I am amazed at how often I hear Him in the morning. It usually comes in the form of "What are you doing? That is not what I said do. How long are you going to continue to do this instead of listening to me? Or at night I hear "you going to pray? I just ignore. This morning was the first time in a long time I left everything off and just read and listened and it felt good. The passage above made me think about where I was 10 years ago …….. Lost and my marriage was going down the tubes and then it hit bottom. I started going back to church and was on fire for everything. I did whatever the church leaders told me to do and I did not question that. I was a baby craving spiritual milk. I went through some suffering but I remained faithful. Now I am ten years later, I am faithful but do I trust as much as I did 10 years ago? Am I as patient? Am I as passionate?

Are you?

Hebrews 10 ³⁵ So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! ³⁶ Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
