ADORATION (v.1-5)

 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope

Jesus, you are counted worthy of all the glory that surpassed all man, angels, and Moses. Jesus, you’re faithful to God as a Son, and our prayers are presented holy to the Father through you. You hold fast our confidence, and we can now boast in our hope because you’ve shed your blood on the cross and atoned for our iniquities. We entered the throne of grace with humble hearts and hope. Jesus, continue being the high priest of our confessions. Forgive our sins of this day.

CONFESSION (v.7-11)

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“Today, if you hear his voice,8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ 11 As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter my rest.’

Let me not harden my heart at your voice, and let me not rebel against any of your teachings. On the contrary, teach me how to become courageous, patient, pure at heart, gain wisdom, and not fear evil and its plans.

The leaders of our country have provoked you to anger. They have become disobedient and detestable, calling your word a myth and rebelling against your holy word. Put you to the test, saying that, Our nation and leaders are dancing and celebrating their gain on the working families.

THANKSGIVING (v.12-15)

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

O Father, guard my heart against the unbelievers who lead Christians away from the living God. Exhort us through your word so that we come to share our love for Christ. Oh, how sweet it will be when we hear your voice! May the Holy Spirit Wordw our minds and hold us to the original confidence in Christ up to the end.

SUPPLICATION (v.16-19)

16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

O God, teach us not to be like the ones who are skeptical in their unbelief. Our faith of righteousness comes from You, and there is nothing I can do that is good or boast in ourselves about our faith. For it’s a gift of God that we can believe. Our lives mean nothing if we don’t live for Jesus Christ. Our purpose in life is vain if we don’t believe in the resurrection. For Jesus Christ fulfilled the promise of the perfect Redeemer, died, rose, and lived. f we believe in the resurrection, we know He will return as King of kings.

Let’s Go Pray!
