Appreciation  -  28th June, 2009

(Hebrews 3:7-11)
 7So, as the Holy Spirit says:
   "Today, if you hear his voice,
    8do not harden your hearts
   as you did in the rebellion,
      during the time of testing in the desert,
 9where your fathers tested and tried me
      and for forty years saw what I did.
 10That is why I was angry with that generation,
      and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray,
      and they have not known my ways.'
 11So I declared on oath in my anger,
      'They shall never enter my rest.' "

We all gather dust on our feet from time to time, and as a result we all need to have our feet washed.   That is, we need to
ask God to forgive our sins we commit on a daily basis.   This regular need to confess our sins to God can become sort of
routine, it's what we fall into by nature, we are human after all.   However it must be urged that nothing with God should
be taken lightly.   Stop, think, meditate, consider what Jesus has done for you, apply his Word to your life, consider your
part in the story.   This redemption, Jesus' sacrafice, the fact that He chose you to be part of His family, its all from
Jesus' side and we can take no credit for any of it.

(John 13:6-8)
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

 7Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

 8"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
      Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."

So how do we understand this sacrifice and begin to take it seriously?   The answer is the bible and prayer.   But, how often
can you remember what you read in your bible study the previous day, evening or morning.   Its great to be able to say to
yourself "iv'e done my prayers and bible readings, now I can get on with the rest of the day", but what if you've not
taken in what you read and your prayer was prayed in a dreary, tired state of mind?   If you can't remember what you read or
prayed about what does that help?   God's word is meant to be applied to our lives.   We need to take it more seriously and
begin to apply it to our lives, then we will automatically begin to grow closer to God and grasp what he has done for us.

(Romans 15:4)
4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

The result of growing away from God is called hardening of the heart.   Hardening of the heart is not something which
happens in a day or two, it's a slow process of rejecting that still small voice in your head, until one day you don't
hear it anymore.   Let us start afresh today, let's make a fresh commitment to follow the word, to understand what it says
and appreciate what we have been given.   Pick up you bible today and read it, pray earnestly and enjoy growing closer to
God.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
