He who does not have the Son of God

Holy God,
What worth is life without You? What purpose would our lives serve if we did not know You? What would be our reason for living? O Lord, You make all things new and You bring order and substance, purpose and meaning to all of our lives. Your Word tells us that You know the plans You have for us and that they are plans to prosper us and give us a hope and a future. Help us, Lord, to seek those wonderful plans so that we may live out Your purposes for us.
As we think about our military men and women today, we recognize that all things that they need are found in You. Without You they are weak, but with You they are strong. Without You they lack understanding, but with Your wisdom, they have the mind of Christ. Without You they have no courage, but with You they can proceed without fear. With You they can do all things through Jesus Christ Who strengthens them. Father, we know that You are the God who equips us to do what we have been called to do. We ask You to keep our troops under the shadow of Your wings.
Bless Your people Israel, Lord, and help us always to pray for them. Make their borders secure and help each of them to be ready to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, we ask that You help our nation to be a blessing and a defender of Your people everywhere.
Lord, without You it is impossible to find peace in this world. With You, we can enter that special secret place of the Most High and abide in Your shadow, Almighty God. Thank You that Jesus brings us peace. May His peace abide in us always, no matter what is happening in this nation or in this world. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Let Us
August 21, 2016
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Hebrews 10:24
While standing in line for a popular attraction at Disneyland, I noticed that most people were talking and smiling instead of complaining about the long wait. It made me ponder what made waiting in that line an enjoyable experience. The key seemed to be that very few people were there by themselves. Instead, friends, families, groups, and couples were sharing the experience, which was far different than standing in line alone.
The Christian life is meant to be lived in company with others, not alone. Hebrews 10:1925 urges us to live in community with other followers of Jesus. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings . . . . Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together (vv. 2225). In community we reassure and reinforce each other, encouraging one another (v. 25).
Even our most difficult days can become a meaningful part of our journey of faith when others share them with us. Dont face life alone. Let us travel together.
Lord, may we fulfill Your calling today by walking the road of faith and encouragement with others.

Life in Christ is meant to be a shared experience.
The Jewish temple represented Gods presence among His people. It was the center of religious life for the Jews. It was a place of corporate worship, the place where sacrifices were made, and the central structure around which yearly festivals and daily prayers took place. The temple construction and sacrificial system clearly meant to illustrate the separation sin had caused between the Creator and creation, but according to the writer of the book of Hebrews this temple and system were merely shadows (Heb. 10:1) of the reality that has come in Christ. Because of Christ the barriers no longer apply. God the Son has come near, and by His blood all believers regardless of gender, station, or nationality can come into the presence of almighty God.
