Today is a full day of things to be done, Father. Please guide me every step of the way. Help me to see through Your eyes today, to love with Your heart, to handle life with Your wisdom, to touch others with Your hands and to speak with your tongue. As Your child may I reflect my Father well. Amen.
Hebrews 6:4-6 (<<click here)
Lord, I must admit I am struggling – struggling with this passage – for that matter Hebrews in general is a challenge for me. There are many wonderful passages but for some reason I’m having a hard time. Help me to see and understand what You would have me to.
The two words that jump out at me are “repentance” and “rejection”. To repent means to turn from the way that we think is right – which does not include You – which is based on our own selfish mindset and to turn to You – to take on Your mindset. It is turning from evil to good – from death to life. It is a renouncing of sin and its control over us and turning to You to find forgiveness from sin and subsequently, in Your power, being victorious over sin.
Your word calls us to repentance but You will never force us to do so. We must choose. There is no straddling of the fence. It is either You or sin. We can accept you as Lord and Savior – being under Your control and having our sins forgiven. Or we can choose to reject You – allowing ourselves to be controlled by a multitude of sins, heaping condemnation upon ourselves.
We will never be forced to accept You as Savior – that is our choice. But there will come a day when we will stand before You and we will have no choice but to face the reality of Your Lordship.
“…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue declares that Jesus Christ is Lord…” Philippians 2:10-11
I proclaim for all to hear, Jesus, You are my Lord and my Savior. Lord, lead me on!
