God's Words of Wisdom for Saturday 9 July 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ on 9 July 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: Hebrews 4:15,16 "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in time of need."

Our High Priest, Jesus Christ sympathizes with our weakness.  The word "sympathize" means "to suffer with" and would express the feelings of one who entered into suffering.  Jesus experienced every degree of temptation as we do, yet He was without sin.  We as humans who give into temptation so easily, cannot even begin to know how strong temptation can be.  Jesus who never gave in, Knows. 

We as Christians should boldly and courageously approach God in Prayer, because His is a throne of grace, and our High Priest Jesus Christs sits at at his right hand interceding for us.

Mercy in verse 16 is a compassion for a suffer so great that it moves one to help.  In this verse mercy implies failure: we come to God because our sins have led us away from Him and from rest.  The greatness and wonder of this passage is that Jesus understands our every weakness, and we come before God and find Him not accusing us, but finding His MERCY and GRACE.

Today's Hymn: "Your Grace Is Enough"

Great is Thy faithfulness O God, You wrestle with the sinners heart
You led us by the still waters into mercy, and nothing can keep us apart
So remember your people, remember your children, remember your promise O God
Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough, your grace is enough for me
Great is Your love and justice God, You use the weak to lead the strong
You led us in the song of salvation, and all Your people sing along, Yeah Your grace is enough 
Heaven reaches out to us, Your grace is enough for me, I'm covered in Your love 
Your grace is enough for me, for me, it's enough for me

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are for your Son Jesus Christ who stands before You interceding for us.  Thank you for your continuing mercy and grace that You most graciously shower upon those who believe and trust in You.  May we in tune our hearts and our minds to the whisper of Your sweet and soft voice and live daily for You.
                                                                                                                                 Amen
