It's not everyone that is going to hear the call of God, as described in John 6:44. I know that some believe this not to be true and believe that you just simply accept Jesus (Yashua Messiah) into your heart through some "Sinners prayer thing", and your all set. When people do this by accepting "Christ" into their life, what they really are doing is just having "Christ" merge with their life, instead of turning their life over to the Messiah. Is it unreasonable to think the creator of the Universe would be happy being accepted into someones life in between soccer, beer drinking, fishing, and whatever else occupies your day.
Following Yahweh really is an all or nothing proposition. This idea is best highlighted by the rich young man who wanted to follow the Messiah. The Messiah did not turn him away, but rather put him on the spot to see what was more important to him, obedience or worldly possessions. How much more closely do we follow possessions than we do the Messiah? Some may do just this and not realize it, and really need to do some soul searching to determine this. What is worth more to us Yahweh's word or riches?
If Yahweh's word is valuable to us like I pray that it is, then the first place to find the value of his word would be in the word itself. Psalms chapter 119 which is the longest chapter in the Bible, and talks about the worth of Father Yahweh's word in verse 127 being worth more than fine gold. I will post the link for the entire chapter instead of just verse 127 which I want to bring attention to. There are many verses I would like to highlight such as 11, 72, 105, and 109. However the entire chapter is really worth reading and meditating on. I encourage all to do so.

Praise the Lord for all he does, he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
