Hebrews 5-8

 

“As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:6-10

 

Dear God, I thank Thee for Jesus Christ and His perfection, that made Him the author of eternal salvation for all. I pray that, as I stated yesterday, You would help me to walk worthy of what You have called me to do with my life, that Thou mayest receive all glory, honor and praise. I pray that this flippant attitude of the heart would be purged out and that You would give me a heart of flesh that is tender to the wooing of the Holy Spirit. Most of all, I pray that my heart would be filled with Thy word. That I would no longer take lightly my daily walk with Thee as I so often have over this last year. Lord, I love Thee and pray that You would guide me into all truth.

 

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6

 

Lord, I would be lying if I said that I have never considered turning back into the world, but of a truth, whenever I have considered it, this scripture has rung true in my life. Lord, You have done such wonderful things in my life that it would be impossible for me to live in such a way that puts You to an open shame without every moment of my day being spent in utter sorrow and misery. Lord, I pray that You would forgive me for my sin and help me as I endeavor to stand against all odds for Thee. Lord, I thank you that Thy word has constrained my heart that though I may desire to give up, having tasted of the heavenly gift, I cannot.
