“Today,

If You Hear His Voice,

Do Not Harden Your Hearts.”

Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For indeed the good news came to us just as to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “As in my anger I swore, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” though his works were finished at the foundation of the world. For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” And again in this place it says, “They shall not enter my rest.” Since therefore it remains open for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he sets a certain day – “today” – saying through David much later, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Hebrews 4:1-7

Are you ready to make the trip to heaven? When it comes to being ready for eternity, we do not get practice. No one knows when we will depart this earth through death or be called home at Jesus’ return.

If you were called into eternity today, would you be prepared to meet God face-to-face? Have you opened your heart to Him? Are your sins forgiven? Are you ready to go?

God’s call my come at any time – so be ready all the time!
