In the part of Scripture I talked about earlier God spoke. He said, “They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.” (Psalm 95:11)

It is still true that some people will enjoy this rest. But those who had the good news announced to them earlier didn’t go in. That’s because they didn’t obey. So God again chose a certain day.

“Listen to his voice today.
    If you hear it, don’t be stubborn.” (Psalm 95:7,8)

    do not harden your hearts.”[a](C)
