NO ASSUMPTIONS
Today's reading: Hebrews 5-7

"...We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation." Hebrews 6:9 NLT

I'll tell you up front, I make no assumptions as to the spiritual condition of those receiving my morning writings. I do not assume I'm 'speaking' only to a group of Bible reading, prayer believing, church attending Christians. I also do not take it upon myself to suppose I'm 'preaching' to unsaved, uncaring, unredeemed souls.

We're all somewhere in between, on any given day, at any given hour.

So this verse? This one sentence nestled inside one of favorite books of the Bible? This cheer? This bit of encouragement? This nuggest of truth?

It can hit home regardless of who, or Whose, you are!

If you're on the Lord's side, blood bought, sins forgiven--you are truly blessed! Chosen! Selected!

If you're thinking the world has more to offer than Christ? That this 'Christian' thing is too hard to understand, too strict, too legalistic, too much? You'll never receive more in this world than it has to offer. Sad, isn't it? All you may have now, will be all you get. The very best of things only come with a relationship with Jesus Christ.

There, I've said it. Take what bits you need for where ever it is you are. And as far as criticisms or compliments--well, they're not my words, they're His.
