Hebrews 2 Review {Lesson 8/Day 6}

Following the truth of the gospel is not a leap of faith, not blind wishful thinking, or trusting in something you can’t prove...it’s a decision to acknowledge the futility of life without God and to commit to God through Jesus based on the reliability of testimony – angels, prophets, Jesus, apostles, miracles, God Himself. And yet, like the hymn writer said,
“Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love”
This describes me. I’m prone to wander. I’m prone to leave the God I love. I’m prone to “drift away” from “so great a salvation.” It’s not that I’m angrily shaking my fist at heaven and stomping away from God, but in the small drifting ways of my daily priorities – sleeping in instead of rising for time in the Word, making excuses instead of making room in my schedule for prayer, diminishing the reality of my own sin instead of acknowledging it as it is...is this you as well?
What if today, you closed in prayer and asked God to reveal any tendency you have to drift away, to take His salvation for granted, and asked Him in all humility to keep you tethered to him no matter what it take. Allow for God to work in you for His glory and for your good today.

Hebrews 1 Review {Lesson 8/Day 5}

Let's get catch up and review! Today is a great day to pause and revist what we've been covering in Hebrews. The truth of God speaking is amazing, but the consistent message of His voice is overwhelming! Consider that since the dawn of time God has been speaking to us to prepare us for Jesus. To Adam and Eve He promised a Redeemer, to Abraham that all nations would be blessed, to Micah the town where He’d be born, to Daniel the time of His birth, to Malachi the prophet who would come before Him. The author of Hebrews has a goal in these opening sentences: to establish the greatness of Jesus Christ over all that has been revealed and above all who have revealed it. Every prophet received a part of the revelation, Jesus has it all and is Himself “who fills all in all.”

Hebrews 8:7-13 part 2 {Lesson 8/Day 4}

(Special message at the end of today's lesson.)
I was the only kid I knew with lunches made with home ground peanut butter, unsweetened apricot spread, and wholegrain nut bread. While others had Skippy, we had Laura Scudder’s. While others were buying margarine, we were eating butter and and cooking with coconut oil. While others had chocolate bars we had carob. Of course, it’s pretty common knowledge nowadays that butter or coconut oil is much better for you than margarine, and the peanut butter you have to stir is way healthier than corn syrup laden Skippy, and everyone on the planet seems to be using coconut oil, but as a kid, I wanted the junk food lunches with white bread, grape jelly, and creamy peanut butter like the other kids. I ate what I ate because my parents bought it and were teaching us to live healthier. I get that now, but then I only ate that way because it was the house rules. As an adult I not only see the value, I’m thankful for my parents and how ahead of the curve they were with healthy eating. When coconut oil started gaining popularity and people started ditching margarine for butter I laughed because I’ve never bought a tub of margarine in my life and coconut oil has been in our cupboards before it was cool. I eat healthy now, not because it's my parents’ house rule, but because in my heart, I know it’s best. It’s not a chore to eat healthy – it’s a joy. Why would I eat
any other way? How much more so is the law of God when it is on our hearts? God’s law is not a commandment written on stone – I’m not trying to know God through the law...I know Him because He’s in my heart and that has made all the difference. (As for carob...that’s a big N-O. That never took hold. Chocolate all the way!)

Hebrews 8:7-13 part one {Lesson 8/Day 3}

I remember as if it were yesterday the time when my dad told me that one day I’d be old enough to understand the magic trick he’d had just done. My sisters and I – three little enchanted preschoolers - sat totally amazed as he made our little dachshund, Schatzie, disappear. “Someday, I promise, you’ll know.” I was filled with eagerness for that “someday” moment! How much more so when God says that someday there will be something so much better than what we have right now. Someday can’t come soon enough, right? Well, for us, that day has come. It came when Jesus brought the New Covenant – a covenant that was promised for 1,000 years. What a day! Today, we’ll look more closely at that great day and that amazing promise kept.

Hebrews 8:1-6 {Lesson 8/Day 2}

Who remembers “dittos” – no, not the bell-bottomed jeans from the 70s – the machines that rolled out handouts in grade school? If you were born before 1980, you probably do. Before schools had photocopiers like Xerox™ machines, teachers ran copies on these hand rolled-drums called “spirit machines.” They got the job done, but they were harder to read, came in blue prone-to-blur ink, and the fumes from the alcohol solvent was, well, let’s just say overwhelming at times. It’s a fond memory from my childhood and my early years as an elementary teacher. Copies had to be made and that was the way to make them. Then along came the Xerox™ machine and we all could read better and breathe better...but still, we were reading a copy, right? Everyone knows the original thing is better. If ditto machines and Xerox™ machines made the best documents, we’d have no need for the originals. But they don’t, and we do. As we move into Hebrews chapter eight we’re going to be reminded once again of how much better Jesus is than the copy or shadow of what He replaced. #lmccwomen #DwellingRichly #biblestudy
