324. Exhortations in Hebrews

Selection 4

1. “Consider Him” (Heb_12:3). See how He acted, and you will know what to do.

2. “Lift up” (Heb_12:12). Hanging hands and feeble knees come from neglected prayer, and want of work.

3. “Make straight” (Heb_12:13). How can we walk straight if our path is not straight? Besides, we cause others to be crooked if we do not make a straight path.

4. “Follow peace” (Heb_12:14). Holiness and peace are the directors of our way, and the powers that stay.

5. “Looking diligently” (Heb_12:15). To fail the grace which will never fail us is the height of folly and the robber of supply.

6. “See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh” (Heb_12:25). To refuse Him is to deprive ourselves of blessing, to distress ourselves in life, and disqualify ourselves for the future.

7. “Serve God” (Heb_12:28). To serve Him is to serve our own interests. We can serve Him in everything, and He saves us to serve.
