Do you know ALL the promises of God to you?
But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb. 8:6 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Thank God we have a better covenant than they had in the Old Testament. Thank God we have better promises than they had coming out of Egypt. Thank God we have a living, loving Mediator, an Advocate, a Lawyer who stands before Father God on our behalf. When you mess up don’t run and try and hide from God…instead run to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you, to fix it up with the Father for you. He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:9), if only we will come to Him and ask. In Fact this is what God says in Isaiah 43:25-26: “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted. OF course that is NOT a license to sin and then run and ask for forgiveness!
But, God says nothing about being found guilty if you come to Him and ask forgiveness!
MY PRAYER…
Most Holy God, I give You praise and glory forever. Father I thank You for Your promises. I know that You are not a man that you should lie and that what You have promised You will fulfill. I thank You Lord that You have given us not only a better covenant with better promises, but You have made a way into Your Throne Room for us through Your most Holy Son. I thank You Father that I can come boldly to your Throne through the Blood of Jesus. Thank you Lord for giving me a Mediator to settle my case with You, that I may be acquitted. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen
