Hebrews 4:11 says, let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their (the Israelites’) example of disobedience. To appropriate this gift of God requires decision and commitment. One has to be willing and have the courage to make the decision. Then one has to be faithful. May none of us fall by following their example.

What is it that will potentially hinder us from doing God’s will in 2021 and beyond? Is it stuff that gives us pleasure but drives us away from God? Is it relationships that do not glorify Him?
