More Earnest Heed

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.(Hebrew 2:1)

The attention we give to our relationship with God is sweetly expressed in our love for and obedience to the scriptures. The Word is God's love letter to His children, and it is the revelation and counsel of the Lord given exclusively to His church, for we alone hear Him and believe Him at His Word. We are complete in Christ, and our identity is rooted in Him. We are His and He is ours. When we allow the Word of God to shape our thoughts, we are no longer defenseless against the onslaught of the world's mindset, it's aimlessness, confusion, or futility; but we put on the complete armor of God and no weapon formed against us will prosper or defeat us. We are more than conquerors in Him. By His Word, we come to know His love, and we are perfected in that love. Even in our weakness, He is strong, and where we fall, He lifts us up. No one can successfully prosecute a charge against God's elect, for it is God who justifies us. This is the blessed assurance of believers -- the Word of God. Jesus is that Word. Hear Him.

Let's Pray - Father, I will give more and more attention to Your Word and the voice of the Holy Spirit each day. Thank You for leading me in holiness and righteousness for Your name's sake. Amen.
