Back in the word

So i have to admit that I have not read the bible in forever. I have gotten away from it, and the devil has used time against me. A day turned in to a week, and weeks turned into months. But Tonight i picked up the bible and opened it and God touched my heart and has given me strength. The Word gives me so much comfort i wonder how i ever left it.

I have decided to read a chapter a day and then blog about it. I really like to dive into the word and study what it is saying, and try to go the next level of understanding. Always trying to push myself to learn more about my Lord and Savior. tonight i started the book of Hebrews. Im not a scholar by any means so if anyone has anything to share please feel free to leave a comment or to let me know what i got wrong.

Hebrews 1

This chapter is really expressing how Jesus is superior to all the angles in heaven. Really giving us a picture of how great Jesus was. He is the image of the invisible God in verse three it explains that the Son is the radiance of Gods glory, and the exact representation of God. It still blows my mind that God sent his son to die for us. And some one who was perfect, and had no flaws. He wasn't hear for us, who are so filthy and need so much love.

Later on in the chapter it talks about how God is never changing, and how he is, and will always be. It says the heavens will change but God will remain the same. In a world that things are so fast, and stuff changes all the time. We can find peace in the fact that God always is the same, and always will be the same. He is our rock, and foundation. If we are to build upon a foundation how comforting is it to know that it will remain the same strong foundation for eternity.

Verse thirteen is by far my favorite part of this passage. It is explains how Jesus is set apart from angles. It says did God ever say to any angles to sit at his right hand and he will make enemies a footstool at his feet. That statement about how he will make enemies footstools at his sons feet is so powerful and shows the mighty power of our God. He is not a weak God. But one who will fight battles for us, and we have nothing to fear. He will turn our enemies into footstools. What a powerful God to have faith in.

In Christ

Support

Having people in my life that love me and support me has been one of the biggest blessings ever. I have cultivated friendships over the years with people who i know that will always support me, and encourage me in what i am doing. My parents have always made sure i succeeded in everything that i do. They were always pushing me to be a better person, and to work hard. I thank them so much for that, and for always telling me that i can do it.

The friends that i have always supported me wether it was coming to my intramural basketball games, my hardcore concerts, staying up late and talking, or just praying for me. I am so thankful for the people that i have in my life that have always been there for me no matter what.

Heather always encourages me and supports me no matter what. She is such a great supporter and encourager which is exactly what i need. She continues to build me up even when i fall short, and is always telling me that i can do it. When i feel like a failure she makes sure i feel like the greatest person in the world.

God has blessed me with relationships that will always be a part of my life and i am so thankful for that. As i sat on the beach today i continued to think about all of my friends and just thanked God for how each and everyone of them has blessed me. To know that i have friends that are always praying for me, and always thinking about me is the biggest blessing. Im so blessed and honored to have friends, and family like i do.

In Christ
