One of my joys in journaling my prayer is that I can go back at any time and see how I dealt with a particular struggle or how my prayer time is alone with God. Sadly, I cannot write anything in some seasons because I am so crushed by the trials.

I remember those trials but failed to write how I health with them. The wisdom and humbleness I gained by faith through the Holy Spirit during those periods cannot be experienced by others except by me. God sanctified me through those trials over time and has become beneficial to others besides myself. God provided those challenges in my mundane life so that I may glorify Him more.

ADORATION (v.1-4)

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

How can I not praise my Savior for my salvation, “since the message declared by the angels proved reliable.” Angels have declared the birth of Jesus, the promise of our King and Savior. “God bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles by gifts of the Holy Spirit.” According to His will, he is pleased when we abide in Him.

CONFESSIONS (v.5-9)

5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere,“What is man, that you are mindful of him,or the son of man, that you care for him? 7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, 8  putting everything in subjection under his feet.”Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

O God, we are lower than angels in power, but you predestined us to be saved by your grace. You’ve crowed Jesus with glory and honour, and all of us are in subjection under his feet. We can come to you anytime and repent and be forgiven of our sins.

THANKSGIVING (v. 10-14)

10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers;  in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”13 And again,“I will put my trust in him.”And again,“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil

O wonderful Savior, thank you for bringing many of us to glory. You’re the perfected of our faith and are sanctifying us through the work of the Holy Spirit. And you’re not ashamed to call us brothers or sisters. You partook of something in the flesh and have the power of death, the devil. In you shall I put my trust.

I am so thankful that you’re our faithful high priest in the service of God to make propitiation for the sins of the people. In you alone, I stand firm in my faith.
