Warning Sign
Read: Hebrews 3:1-13
Beware, brethren, lest there
be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. —Hebrews
3:12
On a sandy beach in Uruguay,
giant concrete fingers partially submerged in sand reach up toward the sky. It
is called the Monument to the Drowned. Locals just call it ‘La
Mano,’ “The Hand.”
It was created by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal as a warning to swimmers
about the danger of drowning. “The Hand”
has become a tourist attraction, but its real purpose remains to remind
swimmers about the perils of the sea.
The Word of God contains its
own kind of warning signs. The book of Hebrews especially provides cautions
about perils to the soul. “Beware, brethren, lest
there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living
God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin”
(Heb. 3:12-13).
The context of the verse is a
review of the unbelief and rebellion of Israel in the wilderness. Though this
happened centuries before the book of Hebrews was written, the spiritual
principle applies today. We are to exhort one another to resist the hardening
of our hearts that comes with sin.
Warning signs are given to us
for our safety. Praise God that He has given us protective warnings in His Word
because of His great love for us. —Dennis Fisher
Lord, thank You for the
warnings in Your Word
that are intended to protect
and preserve my life.
Help me to heed Your reproofs
and instruction
that I may live a life that
is pleasing to You.
God gives us loving warnings
in His Word to protect and preserve us.
Goodmorning & Please goto
