—Hebrews 3:7-15
by: Margaret Taylor.
When my brother was in grade school, learning to do long division, he grasped the concept quickly and was soon able to do the problems in his head. Though the teacher required each problem to be written out fully to show accurate understanding, he found it boring and just recorded the answers. When he received a failing grade for incompletion of the assignment, he felt cheated and angry. He had rebelled and not obeyed, thus losing his reward and approval. Do you ever get bored with doing things God’s way and give up or take shortcuts in your commitment to Jesus, thus grieving Him and losing His blessings?
