JULY 31
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief.
Hebrews 3:12
The Israelites didn’t believe that God had their good at heart. And so everyone who left Egypt (except for two) never made it to Canaan. God made them wander in the desert for 40 years until the original generation had died. This is the message to the New Testament Hebrews, and to each one of us who have been influenced by the gospel. Do we really believe the gospel? If not, we’ll die in the wilderness and never make it to the promised land.
