Good evening, Kitty! (((hugs)))

[The Mayor]

I am here every morning, I can add you to my Daily Bread ping list to start off the day.

I have been posting ODB for so long here, I would be lost without posting it.

At one point I posted on 5 daily threads, FR has changed for us lifers.

[luvie]

It certainly has changed. So many FRiends nowhere to be found...or are found on the Memorial Wall.

I’m not leaving and am comforted that you with your lessons from God’s Word will be here, too! :)

[Diver Dave]

Blessing right back atcha, Kitty Mittens!

Praise the Lord for all he does for us.

Read: Hebrews 4:14-16

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. —Hebrews 4:16

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 49-50; Romans 1

Mont Saint-Michel is a tidal island located about a half-mile off the coast of Normandy, France. For centuries it has been the site of an abbey and monastery that has attracted religious pilgrims. Until the construction of a causeway, it was notorious for its dangerous access that resulted in the death of some pilgrims. At low tide it is encompassed by sand banks, and at high tide it is surrounded by water. Accessing the island was a cause for fear.

Access to God for Old Testament Jews was also a cause for fear. When God thundered on Mt. Sinai, the people feared approaching Him (Ex. 19:10-16). And when access to God was granted through the high priest, specific instructions had to be followed (Lev. 16:1-34). Accidentally touching the ark of the covenant, which represented the holy presence of God, would result in death (see 2 Sam. 6:7-8).

But because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can now approach God without fear. God’s penalty for sin has been satisfied, and we are invited into God’s presence: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace” (Heb. 4:16).

Because of Jesus we can come to God through prayer anywhere, anytime.

Then boldly let our faith address
God’s throne of grace and power,
There to obtain delivering grace
In every needy hour. —Watts

Through prayer, we have instant access to our Father.

Insight

For Jesus to be able to identify with and to save sinful humanity, it was necessary for Him to be fully human. Earlier, the writer of Hebrews affirmed that Jesus was fully “flesh and blood” like us (2:14 niv). Here in verse 15, he further affirmed that because He has been through suffering and temptation, Jesus knows what it is like when we suffer and are tempted. Jesus is therefore qualified and able to help us (Heb. 2:17-18; 5:1-2). But in order for Him to make propitiation for sins, Jesus had to be “without sin” (v.15, also 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:26-27; 1 John 3:5).

Hello Mayor and all. It's been a VERY LONG TIME since I've walked Amy's Place pathway. Today's devotional was just the encouragement I need for today! I couldn't help but break into song...the last stanza from And Can It Be...

No condemnation now I dread,
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed with righteousness divine
through Christ, my own
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own

Thankful today for the cross of Jesus Christ and HIS making possible access to Our Heavenly Father!

Thank you for your faithfulness in posting ODB daily. I confess I have not been faithful in posting lately. sigh...

[The Mayor]

It’s my pleasure and my chosen mission for outreach.
I don’t know how else to start my day!

Oh it's the ONLY way to start our day~ In God's Word. We start our day every day here in our home looking to God and His Word.

I just have missed coming into Amy's and reading ODB. I know I'm the loser as each added devotional and each added encouragement adds to my reinforcement against the enemy. Satan is running rampant now. BIG TIME. We are most definitely seeing the culmination of the age.

Thank you always, Mayor, for Our Daily Bread.
Amy's Place as a daily thread may never resume.
Often times here were only one or two daily posters
besides Amy, the Mayor or me.
I treasure the memories of all we have shared.
God Bless...Checking in to say hello.

[pollywog]

Good Morning LUV!
Yes, Gratitude ...a character quality so often forgot.
Have a good day!

Hi, Megs! I’m as guilty as anyone about not posting daily. We just get too darn busy....... :(
