Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
You can really slip into unbelief about the promises of God. And when you do, it will cost you dearly. Hebrews 4:11 tells us, "Let us labor, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
We must labor! Not by working with our hands or feet or struggling to get God to do something, but by spending time in God's Word -- moving forward in the promises of God by faith, day after day -- understanding and carrying out His purpose for our life. We must labor by harkening to the Word and refusing to let it slip (through affirming and meditating).
Don't get casual about the Word. Instead, dig more deeply in the Word than ever to be at one with your identity in Christ. Be diligent to keep your faith from slipping -- and you won't have to fall!
