Daily Devotional

Scripture: Hebrews 6: [10] God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

Observation: I can’t do enough for God because all He has done for me. Yet as I’m doing it trying to pay back a little for all He has done He still appreciates what I do. He wants me to show Him my love by the way I love others, because they’re His.

Application: I need to look at each person I see as an opportunity to please God. I need to put aside my judgmental ways and look at others as a child of God, a brother or sister in Christ.

Prayer: Dear Lord open the eyes of your servant and teach me how to trust others and to love them as you love me.

Scripture: Hebrews 5: [14] But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Observation: Constant use in this scripture I believe means constant reading, studying and praying. To continue to strive to become closer to God. Solid food is true teachings that makes us better Christians. It’s not enough to just hear the Word, but I must become a doer of the word.

Application: I need to set aside more time in doing what God desires of me. Need to spend time working on small groups or my book each day. When I read I must read with understanding putting forth a better effort.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for not giving up on me. Guide and direct your servant on what you would have me do now. Grow my in my knowledge of You.

Scripture: Hebrews 4: [2] For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

Observation: Faith is the key to Christianity. Christ healed according to faith, faith in Jesus saves us. Unfortunately for me my weakness is a lack of faith, which causes me to fall short from God’s total blessings. It keeps me from fulfilling God’s purpose for me.

Application: To make a stronger effort to increase my faith and believe totally in my Lord. To stop worrying so much and to trust God totally with my life. Read His word and put it into action each day.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for your grace and mercy. I ask that you increase my faith and grow me closer to you.

Scripture: Hebrews 3: [6] But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.

Observation: We are His house, the body of Christ, but we must believe and have hope in Christ. Our courage comes from our faith we have in Jesus that He is our Lord and Savior. I can boast in my Lord.

Application: I need to be a man that can be called the house of God. A man that desires to be like Christ, a servant in His house that is obedient to the call of his Master. My strength should come from my hope and faith in my Savior.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for calling me in Your house. Make me worthy by your sacrifice and have me honor You.

Scripture: Hebrews 2: [6] But there is a place where someone has testified:

“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?

Observation: I wonder a lot, why would God care so much for us? There is a song that says because we are His, that’s why He cares. God has done so much and His doing so much for me, I feel as if I’m the most important person in His life, even though I know He treats all of His children the same.

Application: As I feel that I’m so important to God, more importantly I need to make God the most important thing in my life. I need to focus on what God desires of me and then do it. As I know God takes care of me I need to take care of the things God places before me.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for your love and the way you watch over me and my family, put on my heart and mind what you desire of me.

Scripture: Hebrews 1: [2] but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Observation: God has spoken through Jesus and Jesus speaks to us today through the Holy Spirit and by God’s words Jesus has told us He is the only way to the Father and He has given us work to do while we are here.

Application: Jesus has made it clear the things we are to do to spread the gospel, help the poor, be part of the church and so much more. When I do something I need to ask, is this what Jesus would want me to do and will it honor Him and fulfill the purpose He has given me.

Prayer: Dear Lord open my eyes and heart and speak to me. Show me how to live this life in glory and honor to you.

Scripture: Philemon [6] I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Observation: Am I active in sharing my faith? I may bring it up when convenient, but I don’t feel as if I go out of my way to share my faith. God gave me one job to spread the gospel and I can do that by being active in sharing my faith. I had an opportunity to share a little bit during an interview for a job. After doing that I drove home full of the love of God. If I’m more active, God will give me a better understanding on the things He wants me to do.

Application: I need to live the life of a true Christian, then look for each opportunity to share my faith and testimony to others. Then be still and wait and listen to my Lord that I may know every good thing.

Prayer: Dear Lord give me courage, strength and knowledge to share my faith with those who may not know you. Help me fulfill the purpose of this life in glory and honor to You.
