Yesterday's thoughts were focused on the admonition to not harden our hearts. Today, in Hebrews 3:12 we find a similar concern; that of an unbelieving heart. The verse says, "Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God." May ours be believing hearts, trusting Him in all things.
I would first note those who are named as recipients of this word of caution. It is the brethren who are to take care and take care we must. It seems quite evident that each of us, or "any one of you" is subject to the prospect of an unbelieving heart. This is why care must be given. Christians are people who have believed God. We have believed the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. But we are a people called to live lives believing God. Continuously believing Him. We have received Him by faith and are called to walk in Him by faith. We all know someone who has fallen "away from the living God". Perhaps it is ourselves. May we take care as we look to Jesus for guidance and direction to be people of faith, believing God.
