Holy Spirit of God, open my heart to your works and words...

 
Hebrews 3:7-14

 
“For Forty Years I have been working wonders for you... and you still don’t have faith in me...?” says the Lord to the Israelites - and us today. In those forty years the Lord was referring to in scripture, Pharoah of Egypt had agreed to let all the Hebrews slaves go;  had parted the Red Sea and closed it again on the Egyptian army in pursuit; provided water from a rock in the desert; provided manna and birds for food in the desert and etcetera. These were not small miracles, they were life-giving wonders! Similarly, each man, woman and child living today has experience life-sustaining, and life-changing blessings. What life-giving wonders have I, am I, experiencing in my life? After all the graces I have received, will I harden my heart and still insist that there may be no God after all?  Will I harden my heart and continue to begrudge the time needed to cultivate my relationship to God? Holy Spirit of God, open my heart to your works and words.  
                                              
O that today you would listen to his voice! Do not harden your hearts! (Psalm 95:7-8)
 
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
St. Augustine of Hippo
