POST-IT
Today's reading:  Hebrews 5-7

"Only to Jesus did he say, The Lord has taken an oath, and will not break his vow; You are a priest forever.  Because of God's oath, it is Jesus who guarantees the effectiveness of this better covenant."  Hebrews 7:21-22 NLT

It's a section of Scripture worthy of putting up for you to view often during the day...

On your bathroom mirror:  for the mornings you wake up and the one looking back at you in the mirror feels less than godly, has less than godly thoughts and looks less than usable in the King's court.

On your steering wheel:  for the times when a quick glance gives you an image of someone disgusted with the traffic, in a huge hurry and feeling as far from evangelical as one might possibly feel.

On your desk at work:  for the days when the jokes are off-color, but funny, the gossip, though wrong, is quite juicy and the complaints seem to flow easier than encouraging words.

On your Bible:  for the moments when you look at all you've done, think over all you've failed to do, wonder just what your real purpose is--these verses are for you.

It's what Jesus has done for us that guarantees the effectiveness of our covenant relationship with God, not what we can do!
