Hebrews 2 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Hebrews 2.

Meditate on verse 1.

For this reason we must pay

 much closer attention to what we have heard,

so that we do not drift away from it.

In these last days God has spoken to you in His son (Hebrews 1:2); therefore, you must pay much closer attention to what you have heard (Hebrews 2:1).  What do you listen to?  What do you pay attention to?  Think about your day.  How much time do you devote to things on the internet, on television, in books and magazines that have nothing to do with the Word of God; things which might be in direct opposition to the Word of God?

Pick up your Bible.  You are holding in your hand the very Words of Jesus Christ.  The Bible is the way God chose to reveal Himself to you and communicate with you.  What do you honestly think about the Word of God?  Do you believe it?  Do you pay attention to it?

Hebrews 2 tells you truth about Jesus you must pay attention to:

* Your so great a salvation was spoken through the Lord; do not neglect it (Hebrews 2:2-3).

* Jesus rendered the devil powerless who had the power of death;

therefore, you are free from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:15).

* Jesus had to become a human like you, so He would be your merciful and faithful high priest and your sacrifice to appease the wrath of God against your sin (Hebrews 2:17).

* When Jesus became a human, He was tempted like you are; therefore, He is able to come to your aid when you are tempted (Hebrews 2:18).

What a relief to know these truths about God!  Pay close attention to what you have learned and pray Hebrews 2:1 and 3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Lord, help ________ and me to pay much closer attention

 to what we have heard from You,

so we do not drift away from it.

Do not let us neglect our so great a salvation.

In Your name, Jesus~”
