"He who has an ear.." revelation

It's an amazing thing. You can hear something a thousand times until it finally seeps in. "He who has an ear, let him hear..." (Revelation). I can't explain how many times i've heard this spoken to me in the last few weeks. But i finally got it.

I am starting to learn the value of God's Word. Isn't that rediculous to say...I claim to be a Christian, yet I am admitting to seeing the Bible as less than what it is? Yuck-

Hebrews 2:1 says, "It's CRUCIAL that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard..."

I can in all seriousness say that the only words i would be willing to risk and take my life on, are the words carefully written in the Bible.

So what the heck am i doing?!?! I often live a life that looks like I am completely willing to stake it all on this fallen world...for what? To be comforted and swooned back into the arms of another temperary pleasure that leaves me steps behind where I started? What's the point?! Where's my integrity? Where's my vow?

"Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death. It is obvious, of course, that he didn't go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham. That's why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people's sins, he would have already experienced it all himself- all the pain, all the testing- and would be able to help where help was needed."- Heb. 2. 14-18

This is the Truth. This is MY heart. This is what my ears hear, and my mind and body so often rejects. Thankfully The Lord has an answer....

LISTEN, HEAR, OBEY! OPEN UP YOUR FREAKIN EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"it's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off."- hebrews 2:1

I need to keep my ears open! Chapter 3 says, "TODAY please listen! Don't turn a deaf ear...." if i keep my ears open, i'll be able to better resist the temptation to settle in this world. I need to train myself to listen and obey the binding messages spoken by God. Heb 2:2.

..just expressing a thought tonight....hope it made any sort of sense...
