1. Today, if you hear his voice (7-11)

The Israelites of Moses' day heard God's voice, but they hardened their hearts and rebelled. The psalmist warns the people of his day not to make the same mistake. 'Today' is every time we hear God's voice. We must repent as we read the Bible. If we harden our hearts in rebellion and disobedience, or if we allow our hearts to go astray, we cannot enter God's rest. We will live as restless wanderers.

2. Because of unbelief (12-19)

We must hold firmly to the end the confidence we had in Jesus at first. It is easy to be hardened by sin's deceitfulness; so we must encourage one another every day. The people of Israel made a good start when they crossed the Red Sea and left Egypt; but they failed to reach Canaan because of unbelief and disobedience. Today, we must hear God's word, believe, and obey him.

Application: Lord, guard my heart from unbelief; help me to be faithful to you to the end and help me to encourage others every day.
One Word: Encourage one another daily
