I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: big events are not enough:

For again, the Scriptures say, if only today you would listen to his voice. Don’t make him angry by hardening your hearts, as you did in the wilderness rebellion. The same people who were delivered from bondage and brought out of Egypt by Moses, were the ones who heard and still rebelled. They grieved God for forty years by sinning in their unbelief, until they dropped dead in the desert. (Hebrews 3.15 – 17, TPT)

Delivered from bondage and brought out of Egypt by Moses… These people witnessed and experienced:

• Nine plagues on Egypt
• Passover (the tenth plague)
• The Exodus
• The parting of the Red Sea
• Sinai

They experienced all those things and still hardened their hearts and “dropped dead in the desert.” 600,000 men went out. Only Joshua and Caleb went in.

It’s a daily decision every day.

• Read the Word
• Pray
• Be obedient
  • Love God
  • Love my neighbor
  • Love my enemy
• Don’t complain – don’t harden my heart
• Keep encouraging each other

This is the time to encourage each other to never be stubborn or hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (Hebrews 3.13, TPT)

³³  Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.
³⁴  Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.
³⁵  For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 8.33 – 35, ESV)
