Scripture Reading

Hebrews 13:1-21

Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Reflect

What kinds of service are pleasing to God (verses 1-3)? Verse 9 says, “Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you from the right way.” Have you ever been tempted to abandon doing what you knew was right? If so, how did you deal with that situation? What does it mean to you, knowing that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (verse 8)?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever! Knowing this fills me with awe and joy. Knowing you are always with me and will be with me forever gives me comfort and the strength to face whatever trials may come my way. Thank you, Jesus, for loving me so. Amen.
