Today, I am reading and commenting on  Hebrews 1-5.

There are two aspects of today’s passage which speak to me.  The first is the writer quoting Psalm 95, “Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts…” The writer tells us that this means that we must not have an unbelieving heart which turns away from God.  He points out that the passage refers to “today” and that as long as we call the day we are living “today” we have the opportunity to hear God’s voice and turn to Him.  Sin is deceitful and will try to turn our attention away from God and the works He has for us.  Which brings me to the second thing.  The writer tells us that those who put their trust in God will enter into God’s rest, will join Him in the rest He took on the seventh day of Creation.  And this breaks down into two pieces.  We must do God’s work until He brings us into His rest.  We have work to do for God until the day He brings us into His rest, into His Sabbath.  The Sabbath which God established for us every seven days represents a foretaste of the eternal Sabbath into which He will welcome us when our work here on earth is complete.  So, let us do the work which He has set before us while it is “today” in order that we might enter into the rest He has prepared for us.  Yet, each week let us set aside a day to partake of that rest as a foretaste of that rest into which He will bring us if we do not turn away from Him to sin.
