I really enjoyed the verse today about encouraging one another. It is so funny, because that was what I was teaching about yesterday in Children's Church. I say funny, because I guess God is really trying to get my attention in this area. We talked about to build up and not to tear down. Ahhh and children are the BEST encouragers ever. Please take an example from two of the children I teach. Child 1: You are so nice and you always smile when I see you. Keep doing that. Child 2: He took what I was going to say about him. So...(to child 1)...You need to keep smiling so I can say it about you when she lets us do this again.</p>Ramona commented on 'November 1st One Year Bible Readings'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c5ebf53ef0134889d2cc5970c2010-11-01T01:52:15Z2010-11-01T01:52:15ZRamonaIn Hebrews, especially this current chapter, as well as the first verse of chapter two, we read about hearing/listening and...<p>In Hebrews, especially this current chapter, as well as the first verse of chapter two, we read about hearing/listening and my mind is brought to the Hebrew word that has been translated into the English word “obey” 43 times in the King James Version. That word transliterated is “shaw-mah.” According to Strong’s it means:</p>
<p>H8085<br />
שׁמע<br />
shâma‛<br />
shaw-mah'<br />
A primitive root; to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively to tell, etc.): - X attentively, call (gather) together, X carefully, X certainly, consent, consider, be content, declare, X diligently, discern, give ear, (cause to, let, make to) hear (-ken, tell), X indeed, listen, make (a) noise, (be) obedient, obey, perceive, (make a) proclaim (-ation), publish, regard, report, shew (forth), (make a) sound, X surely, tell, understand, whosoever [heareth], witness.</p>
<p>Our call to “obey,” to “listen” is not something we do impassively but we do it interactively, weighing the value, the cost. I believe it is the invitation given to the prophet Isaiah,</p>
<p>Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18 KJVR).</p>
<p>To do anything less than interacting with what we have read and continue to read would cause us to be like those who died in the wilderness, not mixing what we have heard and read with faith.</p>
<p>Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried [My patience] and tested [My forbearance] and found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years. And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them. Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest. [Ps. 95:7-11.]<br />
(Hebrews 3:8-11 AMP)</p>
<p>Just some things to think about.<br />
