Scripture for the Day

Since our evening was so very uneventful (thank the good Lord), I decided just to post a few scriptures I came across today in my daily Bible reading.

Hebrews 2:18 (KJV)

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
When we are tempted to be disloyal to God and give in to sin, we should pray to Christ, who triumphed over temptation and now, as our high priest, promises to give us the strength and grace to resist sin. Our responsibility is to draw near to him in time of trouble; His responsibility is to give help in every time of need.

Hebrews 4:15-16

For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like 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 in time of need.
Because Christ sympathizes with our weaknesses, we can confidently approach the heavenly throne, knowing that our prayers and petitions are welcomed and desired by our heavenly Father. It is called the "throne of grace" because from it flows God's love, help, mercy, forgiveness, wisdom, spiritual power, spiritual gifts, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and all that we need in any circumstances. One of the great blessings of salvation is that Christ is now our high priest, our mediator, who opens the way for us to come to the Father with confidence for all areas of need in our lives.

Well, hallelujah! :)
