A WORD FOR YOUR DAY! June, 20 LET THE WORD HAVE POWER OVER YOU Wherefore ( as the Holy Ghost saith , To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts , as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness . Hebrews 3: 7- 8 Abraham was a man who greatly esteemed God �s instructions . In Genesis 22: 2, the Lord said to him, �Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac , whom thou lovest , and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of .� As tough as this instruction was, Abraham didn �t question it ; rather, he acted accordingly and would have sacrificed his son, had the Lord not prevented him . His motivation was, � God said so !� It ought to be the same for you . Your pleasure in life shouldn� t be the excitement of doing the things you like , but doing the things the Lord said to do . Just as in Abraham �s case, God � s instruction to you may seem unpleasant ; for instance , He may tell you to stay on a job you don�t like very much. Don �t argue about it ; stay on the job and choose to like it and make a success of it because the Lord said so . God � s Word comes to us to transform, correct , and guide us . When it comes to you, don�t be casual with it , or reason it away . If you �re about to make a decision and the Word of God tells you differently , don�t harden your heart ; choose the Word- way . God �s Word will always show you the more excellent way to go . Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the people didn �t recognize Him ; the Word of God . Thus, they missed the time of their visitation (Luke 19: 44) . That�s what happens to those who harden their hearts against the Word; it passes them by . It� s my prayer that God �s Word will always have power in your life to mould , correct , and reprove you; making you that man or woman that God has destined you to be . Pastor Chris
