Jesus Walks—Are You coming? Jesus Is Greater Series #9Sample
Blessing our Leaders
Thoughts on the Word
Follow the spiritual leaders God gives to you. They are not perfect, but they will stand before God and answer how they did their work. Make it as easy for them as you can—it is not an easy job.
The writer closes with a special blessing for these people in verses 20,21. It is one of my favorites to speak over people. So may God grant you everything YOU need to walk in love and obedience. If God raised Jesus from the dead, then He has the power to help you succeed here.
God bless you abundantly.
Prayer
Father I thank you for every one of these friends. They have walked through Hebrews with me and seen Jesus in a new way. They have seen that Jesus is greater than anything they left behind. Now I ask that You encourage and strengthen them to hold on to Jesus tightly. May they never let go. May they never drift in their walk. May they never lose hope. May they always remember that many people before them struggled, yet through faith gained God's eternal blessing.
May each of my friends join that list. May each of them see that God can make them worthy of the same honor. In Jesus' name, Amen.

About this Plan
In this final installment of our 9-part journey through Hebrews, we are presented with practical challenges and godly responses to life. They are short and easy to understand—but they truly are a challenge to implement in our lives daily. How are we to face these challenges? PRAISE. This final plan of Hebrews illustrates the importance of offering the sacrifice of praise in the midst of challenges.
