Information Versus Conviction. Part [8] 09/19/2023 (Morning thought)

Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost says, Today, if you will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness. 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Now, it’s never advised to put aside the word of God for a later date, nor is it ever recommended for any person to say tomorrow, because procrastination is the devil’s tool and he can use it to his advantage, in tempting persons to delay and delay, until the cold fingers of death may close the person’s probation.

Thus, even though we are studying the facts on the ground, as it pertains to information and conviction, the God of heaven does issue a warning against any delay after one hears His word clearly, yet refuses to make good on the grace offered through the Holy Spirit’s convincing efforts.

But, even though persons are cautioned against a delayed response to the Holy Spirit’s work upon the heart, the raw facts on the ground teach us that, in many cases, after the seed of truth has been sown, a gestation period ensues, where persons may have to weigh the evidence presented, before making a determination upon the truth in question.

Hebrews 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
