Holding Firmly 135

 "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Hebrews 4:14-16

Jesus, our great high priest, has many names...strong tower, ever present help in times of trouble, healer, counselor, co-heir, Son of God, Guardian, Savior...Alpha & Omega- Today, as the challenge of living in the natural world that we are passing through, beats on us and can wear us thin, my mind centers on this thought: He is our lifeline, our carrier, a very strong tower. I am reminded today - not to grow weary. We can approach the Throne of God in confidence, without a doubt. I am rescued not because I am worthy, but because of His great love and the fact that He is worthy, and He keeps His Promises.
Today we receive His great mercy and grace, as we keep on "reaching and moving".
