Scripture: Hebrews 9: [26] Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Observation: Each day I pray and attempt to grow closer to Jesus. At times I I don’t think of what He did for me. He voluntarily endured the worst punishment, gave up his life so that I may have eternal life and that my sins would be forgiven. I not only have eternal life and salvation but He is with me each day looking over me.

Application: I need to live my life each day in a deep gratitude and praise for my Lord and Savior, I need to start giving my life to Jesus the way He gave His for me.

Prayer: My Lord may I not take you for granted but live my life in a way that pleases you and glorifies you.

Scripture: Hebrews 8:10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Observation: When I received Jesus into my life things changed. I couldn’t swear or lie, I saw people in a different way and had compassion for them. God changed me and put on my mind and heart the way He wanted me to be. Each day I grow closer because I understand more about the man, He wants me to be.

Application: I know most of the time what I should do but don’t. I need to follow God’s leading all the time not just some of the time. To remember it is all written on my heart and take the time to reads it.

Prayer: My Lord continue to put on my heart and mind your desires, your commands so that I will honor you each day.

Scripture: Hebrews 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the son, who has been made perfect forever.

Observation: We forget sometimes our church leaders are not perfect but weak, yet so often we look at them as if they can do no wrong. When something happens instead of looking at them as only men and needing our support we leave the church, looking for something better, but instead of leaving we are called to be the body and help our pastors.

Application: I need to stop looking at the pastors as knowing all and just focus on Jesus as my Lord, Savior and Master. Ask Jesus how I may serve my church and bow down to His will.

Prayer: My Lord take away this sinful man and soften my heart that I may honor you. You are my priest, my Lord, my God, show me the way to go.

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 was overseeing an event and I wanted everything done my way without taking in consideration how others felt. This verse touched me that I need to be doing this for God and not myself. Every time I help someone, I should be doing it to glorify God.

Application: Look for ways each day to help others. Go out of my way, take the time to glorify God.

Prayer: My Lord take this selfish thinking away from me and have me focus on you. All that I do may it glorify you.

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

Observation: Sometimes I wonder how mature I am as a Christian. I read and journal each day, I pray every morning and evening, and I serve in my church. However, each day my thoughts can turn to evil and my actions don’t always show to others I’m a child of God. I make judgments of others and use my time as I want not taking in consideration what God wants me to do..

Application: It’s not enough to do the work without a completely changed heart. Everything I do I need to be able to distinguish it as good or evil, does it honor God or disappoint Him. I need to break away from the milk and enjoy His feast.

Prayer: My Lord guide me this day, fill me with the Holy Spirit and teach me your desires. May I enjoy the feast You have prepared for me.

Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Observation: Most of the time I read my Bible, but don’t fully appreciate what it is, the living Word of God. At times I don’t appreciate the power and gift of the Bible. It guides me each day, teaching me right from wrong, encourages me, shows me God’s will, what God will do for me and what I should be doing for God. It describes the life I should lead and the rewards of my heavenly Father that loves me. It is the greatest motivational book ever motivating me to live a life in glory to Him.

Application: I need to read and meditate on His word and live my life by what God says and use it as a weapon to fight evil.

Prayer: My Lord, I thank you for your Word, may I live my life according to your direction.

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, part of the body of Christ. I’m God’s house and Jesus is faithful over God’s house, that truly makes me special since there is nothing more important in this world to God. We should boast in this and tell the world where we stand with God.

Application: I need to live each day knowing I’m God’s. It needs to show to others in my action and speech. This will give me courage to speak up and live each day in victory that I’m God’s house.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for being so faithful in looking over me, for your sacrifice and love I will never be able to repay but may I try for the rest of my life.
