“…Lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12).

Does that warning fit me? I can’t imagine developing that kind of heart. Neither can I imagine abandoning God.

Nevertheless, the warning is precisely for me. And so is this next one.

“…Lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:13).

I disregard these warnings at my own peril. He is in greatest danger who thinks he is in no danger.

I’m glad both of these warnings have preventive instructions preceding them.

“Take heed, brethren” (12).

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To Day” (13).
