A Call to Persevere 02-12-17


(CLICK THE TITLE) Good morning everyone. Oh give thanks onto the Lord for he is good yes He is good. Give the Lord a praise for who he is, God all by himself.

Today’s Prayer

Father, Thank you that You are a God of second chances. We thank You for forgiving and taking us back during the times of our lives when we strayed and were disobedient. We’re so sorry for disappointing loved ones in our lives, and for disappointing You. Please forgive us. Please encourage us and keep us steady. We want to stay on the right course, with the right attitudes, and the right desires. Bless You Lord, for Your loving-kindness, Your grace, and Your mercy. We praise You for who You are. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

A Call to Persevere

Hebrews 10:19-39

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death,] Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

  Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

  Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. For we know the one who said,

   “I will take revenge. I will pay them back.”

   He also said,

   “The Lord will judge his own people.”

  It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.

Quote of the Day

Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God.
