Are you embittered, provoked, frustrated, and irritated with God

Are you embittered (Hebrews 3:8), provoked, frustrated, and irritated with God?  

Praise God!  Have some good Gospel News for you straight from Hebrews 3:5-8.  Enjoy lavishing yourself in His presence and learning to REST in His care. AND don't be embittered, but as Romans 5:3 says to glory in tribulation and as James 1:2 says to Count it all Joy when facing trials! Hold onto your confession of faith (Hebrews 4:14, 10:23)!


Hebrews 3:5-8 (KJV) 
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 
8 Harden NOT your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 


Hebrews 3:5-8 (AMP)
And Moses certainly was faithful in the administration of all God’s house [but it was only] as a ministering servant. [In his entire ministry he was but] a testimony to the things which were to be spoken [the revelations to be given afterward in Christ]. [Num. 12:7.]
6 But Christ (the Messiah) was faithful over His [own Father’s] house as a Son [and Master of it]. And it is we who are [now members] of this house, if we hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness,


Hebrews 3:6-11 (The Message)
Now, if we can only keep a firm grip on this bold confidence, we’re the house! That’s why the Holy Spirit says,

                 Today, please listen;
                   don’t turn a deaf ear as in “the bitter uprising,”
                   that time of wilderness testing!
                 Even though they watched me at work for forty years,
                   your ancestors refused to let me do it my way;
                   over and over they tried my patience.
                 And I was provoked, oh, so provoked!
                   I said, “They’ll never keep their minds on God;
                   they refuse to walk down my road.”
                 Exasperated, I vowed,
                   “They’ll never get where they’re going,
                   never be able to sit down and rest.”
