Scripture References: Hebrews 12:18-29, Luke 13:10-17
This is our third week in which the key scripture text comes from Hebrews. We learn about a new covenant, or promise, made real through Christ. In Christ, we see the glory of God.
First, what does God promise us, according to the passage in Hebrews?
In Hebrews, we learn about a new covenant; in the Luke passage, we learn about a woman bent over for eighteen years, whose back was made straight…again, new life! Describe a time when you felt the “fresh wind” of God’s presence in your life. What new things happened as a result?
The Hebrews passage ends with, let us give thanks, by which we offer an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for indeed our God is a consuming fire. In your prayer life this week, try to start not with your desires and petitions, but rather, with an awareness of the vastness and righteousness of God. Once we recognize that we are in the presence of a power far greater than ourselves, we are better able to utter, thy will, be done, and entrust our lives to our loving, creative God.
