Heb 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.
During my devotion today, I stumbled over this verse and tripped. I do not know much about the Bible but, I do know enough to know that if the Bible says give earnest heed then we need to listen. But this verse says something even greater than that "more earnest heed".
In the previous chapter ( chap. 1) we see that the word of God is describing Jesus. and then in the first verse of chapter 2, it says give the more earnest heed. Heed to what ? The things in which we have heard. What have we heard?
Then is says lest we should let them slip. In today's world in which we live, it becomes more and more difficult to serve God. That is why we need to give more earnest heed to what God is trying to teach us.
If we don't give heed we are going to let some very important thing slip.
The reason America is where she is, is because we Christians have let some things slip...

- Jesus is the Son of God
- Jesus was the Promised Messiah
- The word of God is true, is perfect
- Jesus died for our sins
- He was buried
- He arose
- Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves(going to church)
- Pray without ceasing
- Saved by grace not by works
- Reading your Bible daily

How about today you and I get a better grip and give the more earnest heed to the things of God?
