A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When history’s turning point came and went (creating for us what we now know as the first century AD), there were two groups of people: those who believed in angels and spirit and those who didn’t.[a] I’m not sure if anything much has changed in 2,000 years! While some today may be asking what really is an Angel, others may be happy with a “guardian angel” protecting them and their children. But could we go a step further to say that the Creator God has a whole host of angels[b] and that they can appear in human form?[c] If so, than could we venture to believe that Jesus came as Commander of the Lord’s Army?[d]
This letter to the Hebrews, was originally written by a Hebrew to Hebrews. The writer was explaining to his own people that this Jesus, was not just their “Messiah” (saviour) but was, in fact, Father God’s “righteous right arm” all through HIStory.[e] “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being[f], sustaining all things by His powerful Word. After He had provided purification for sins[g], He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” [v3]

THE LORD’S PRAYER:
1. Praise: “Our Father in Heaven, how great is Your name! Your Kingdom come! Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…”
I’ll praise You Lord, because You counsel me; even at night my heart instructs me. [Psalm 16:7]

Your concerns for today
As the rain and snow come down from heaven, making the earth to bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, Your word, Father God, that goes out from Your mouth, won’t return to You empty, but will accomplish what You desire, achieving the purpose for which You sent it. [Isaiah 55:10-11]
3. Admit: “…Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us…”
Help me to make right choices today, Lord. After all, what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of law that I’m looking at today? [Deuteronomy 4:8]
4. Protect: “…Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one…”
Thank-You Father God that You loved Your world so much that You gave Your one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. [John 3:16]
“ For Yours Lord is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory for ever and ever. Amen”
