Pay Attention

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. - Hebrews 2:1 - 4

I pray the Lord would give me a renewed devotion to studying my Bible, so that I will not drift away from what I have heard and learned about the Truth. How do we know that this salvation, which God offered us freely through His Son, Jesus, is the Truth? It was confirmed by those who heard the Lord, firsthand. Not confirmed by someone having a vision of something the Lord said. There of course were signs and wonders and miracles that we read about happening in the Bible, such as the boy's loaves of bread and fish feeding a multitude of people. But what about the signs and wonders and miracles that have been confirmed in our own lives? How can you not believe in God when you witness the miracle of your children being born? That is a miracle in my own life that confirms to me that Jesus is real. Lord, help me to pay attention, and continue to learn more from your Word.
