God does not forget us. Some days, it can certainly feel like it. Going through difficulties and hard times can sometimes result in feeling that God has forgotten us, but see what it says in Hebrews 6. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. Hebrews 6:10 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.6.10.NASB It would be unjust if God forgot us and what we have done for Him. God is not unjust and He will continue to reward us for the work that we have done out of love for Him.…

How do we learn to be obedient?  As a child, when we are disobedient, we get in trouble and have punishments. Those can range from more chores to timeout to anything in between. See what Hebrews 5 says about Jesus and obedience. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. Hebrews 5:8 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.5.8.NASB Jesus learned obedience through suffering. He came to understand and obey because of the things that he suffered in His life.  If Jesus learned obedience through suffering, how do we expect to learn except through suffering as well. God knows what he is allowing us to go through in our…

God’s Word is powerful. It is the spoken word of God and we must recognize what it can do in us and through us. Read Hebrews chapter 4. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.12.NASB It is active, living, and it can absolutely pierce through all the “stuff” in our lives that gets in our way or distracts us from God. Do we spend time in God’s Word? Do we measure…

What is more deserving of praise, the art or the artist? The builder or what is built? This is the question God asks in Hebrews chapter 3. For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. Hebrews 3:3‭-‬4 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.3.3-4.NASB The builder or the artist or the one who does the creating is worthy of much more praise and honor than the creation itself. Do we give God the honor and praise that is due Him, or…

We are going to go through temptations. That a fact and it’s simply a matter of time. So how do we deal.with those? We come to Jesus. See Hebrews chapter 2. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted. Hebrews 2:18 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.2.18.NASB Jesus understands temptation. He went through it and experienced it just like we do. He is able to come to our aid and help us through the temptations we face. But, we must come to Him and seek His help. Do we turn to him with our difficulties and frustrations?…

Who is Jesus Christ? We’ve spent months going through the Psalms, reading about praising God. We’re moving over to the New Testament to the book of Hebrews to better understand who we are to be praising. Read through Hebrews chapter 1. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Hebrews 1:3 This verse lists so many amazing attributes of Jesus Christ. As the writer starts through Hebrews, he wants the reader to understand that,…
