Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Morning “And you shall set the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD.” [Jesus] holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace. “The beloved of the LORD dwells in safety. The High God surrounds him all day long, and dwells between his shoulders.” Ex. 28:12; Heb. 7:24, 25; Jude 24; Heb. 4:14-16; Deut. 33:12 (Read full verses...) Evening “On that night the king could not sleep.” You hold my eyelids open.—Who is like the LORD our God, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.—Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen.—Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.”—And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good. “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.” Esth. 6:1; Ps. 77:4; Ps. 113:5, 6; Dan. 4:35; Ps. 77:19; Ps. 76:10; 2 Chron. 16:9; Rom. 8:28; Matt. 10:29, 30 (Read full verses...) << May 22 | May 23 | May 24 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
