” So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest—the promised land] because of unbelief and an unwillingness to trust in God. Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still remains and is freely offered today, let us fear, in case any one of you may seem to come short […]
Prayer is composed of praise, worship … and asking. Do you ask the Lord for what you think (and even hope) you need? Do you think He’s really not interested? Do you think you have no right to ask? And I think you could probably come up with some other questions. Point being: how do
Remember Paul’s experience on the way to Damascus? Acts 9: “1 Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord [and relentless in his search for believers], …3 As he traveled he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him [displaying the glory and majesty of Christ]; 4

For a moment, consider what God says about righteousness. “Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]; For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness?

I was WRONG! Boy was I wrong. Not just a little ‘oops’ or a ‘but I really didn’t mean…’. This was a foundation stone in my life and it was made without the ‘right ingredients’. It’s not that I haven’t been wrong before. But I don’t recall anything that was so fundamental in my life
