Verse of the Day 10/26

Hebrews 3:1-2

English Standard Version

3 Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.

The heading for this passage in Hebrews 3 is "Jesus is Greater than Moses."  Through the ages people have had to decide who the will follow, who they will listen to and obey. In the book of Hebrews they were dealing with Moses, Abraham and angels, among others, but is Jesus who is truly "greater", it is He that we should listen to and obey.

There are many self help books that we can turn to today, many that have made a living giving advice, telling us what we should or shouldn't do.  They may sound good and compelling, but how do they line up with what Jesus has said and taught?

A.W. Tozer writes, "Anyone who wishes to check on his true spiritual condition may do so by noting what his voluntary thoughts have been over the last hours or days. What has he thought about, when free to think of what he pleased? Toward what has his inner heart turned, when it was free to turn where it would?"

Where has your heart been turned, what has captured your thoughts , or who have you been listening to?  We are called to listen and believe the One who is greatest, who speaks the voice of truth..

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.    (Casting Crowns - The Voice of Truth)

Blessings,
