Take Heed

Heed means pay attention to; take notice of. When we attend to a church service or a bible group we sometimes miss it when we do not pay attention to what has been said or just reading the word we sometimes just read and never take it by heart. Paul teaches the church to take heed, to pay attention of what we have been taught what have we heard lest we drift away. In the book of Psalm says to hide the word in your heart so you will not sin against God. That is why when someone tells you about Jesus or the Word pay close attention to them take heart of what has been said. Make a commitment to read your word daily so you can plant that seed in your heart and when temptation comes when trials come than you can prove the strength you got in you the word will enable you to overcome it ALL.  Hebrew 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. Pay attention, take notice of. Sometime we allow offences to get the best of us. When Jesus spoke many got offended by Him because He spoke the truth and the truth hit homerun (straight to the heart). Manny had unbelief in their heart because they did not believe in Jesus. Jesus is the word! In the book of John in chapter six Jesus was talking to the disciples they were complaining and Jesus said to them “Does this offend you? For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. and He said in John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Notice different translation says....
New International Version
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
New Living Translation
At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.
English Standard Version
After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.
Contemporary English Version

Because the unbelief. I encourage you today to take HEED of what you have heard so you will not drift way. Take a hold of the words of God and hide them in your heart mediate on it day and night wrap those words around your neck put it in the tablet of your heart so you will not drift away. When you hear His voice do not harden your heart! God Bless,
