14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

COME 

Come to Jesus.  He knows what you are feeling.  He loves you.  Come to Jesus, ask Him to heal your life, guard your heart and lead you in the everlasting way of joy and peace.  

SEPT 23 – HEB. 2:17-18

09/23          Hebrews 2:17-18

17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[h] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

KNOWS

JESUS knows everything about us and everything we need.  He knows.  Go to Him.  Ask Him to lead, guide and direct your life.  Place your faith in Jesus.

09/22          Mark 6:34

34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

NEED

We have a great need.  We are suffering from misdirection, loneliness, fear, anxiety and desperation in dealing with life.  Jesus comes to us and brings the solution to life-peace and joy.  The Spirit of God resides in us and gives us the same power in us that raised Jesus from the dead.  God in us.  Our warrior creed.
