More earnest heed

Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away."

The author of Hebrews challenges us to give MORE earnest heed to the things we have heard. I once heard a pastor say we don't need to know more, we need to apply what we already know.

Are you seeking that one truth that will make the puzzle pieces of your life fall into place; when life will somehow be easier and obedience won't be so difficult? I'm sorry to disappoint you but there is no magic truth that will make that happen.

The author says, we must give more earnest heed, not just earnest heed but MORE earnest heed.

Why do we expect God to reveal more of Himself, more truth to us, if we have failed to earnestly heed the truth which we have already been given?

Are you living in the truth you already know? Are you giving more earnest heed to the truth you possess or are you hesitating and waiting for something else?
