In Episode 16, “Don’t Harden Your Heart,” Kim walks listeners through Joshua 11:16-23 with specific emphasis on verse 20.



The hardening of one’s heart happens to both unbelievers and believers. Where do you stand today?



Has your heart become hardened due to repeated disobedience? May God give you the courage to turn back to Him today.



The writer of Hebrews expressed the same concern we should feel today.



12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. 13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.15 Remember what it says:



“Today when you hear his voice,
    don’t harden your hearts
    as Israel did when they rebelled.” (Hebrews 3:12-15)





If you know of someone, believer or unbeliever, who needs a more intimate relationship with Christ, consider praying this prayer for him/her.
