"So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice."
{Hebrews 3:7} (NIV 1984)
{Hebrews 3:7} (NIV 1984)
Does God speak to individuals today? This passage says a resounding YES! Some say that because the apostolic age is over, God will not speak to a specific individual about their life anymore. I love how our Lord puts it in John 10:4, “his sheep follow him because they know his voice”. What about the letters to the churches in Revelation? “He who has an ear to hear let him hear” (2:7) and “if anyone hears my voice and opens the door” (3:20).
No friend, we need to hear God’s voice. May He speak to us today, and may we recognize this Voice over all the other voices in our lives. He speaks to us through His Word and through His Holy Spirit. Sometimes He uses women and men to speak His truth into our lives; sometimes He uses what we call our conscience, and sometimes He speaks to us so directly, we wonder if it was an audible voice. Hebrews 3 is all about believing and obeying His voice; it is really a warning against unbelief. Let us be those who believe what God says and obey it. Let us be those who enter into His rest!
