9. For 40 years in the desert your ancestors saw the things I did.But they tested me and my patience.
10. I was angry with them.I said, ‘They are not loyal to me.They have not understood my ways.’
11. So I was angry and made a promise.‘They will never enter my land of rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11
12. So brothers, be careful that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart. This will stop you from following the living God.
13. But encourage each other every day. Do this while it is “today.” Help each other so that none of you will become hardened because of sin and its tricks.
14. We all share in Christ. This is true if we keep till the end the sure faith we had in the beginning.
15. This is what the Scripture says:“Today listen to what he says.Do not be stubborn as in the pastwhen you turned against God.” Psalm 95:7-8
16. Who heard God’s voice and was against him? It was all those people Moses led out of Egypt.
17. And whom was God angry with for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned, who died in the desert.
18. And whom was God talking to when he promised that they would never enter and have his rest? He was talking to those who did not obey him.
19. So we see that they were not allowed to enter and have God’s rest because they did not believe.
