Read To Me Daily Semester 4Sample

EZEKIEL 30-31:
As the Lord was pronouncing doom upon the Prince of Tyre in Ezekiel 28, did you notice how the language shifted to talking about things that the human prince could not have done. From this we can conclude that the spirit-world ruler behind the prince of Tyre is really Satan. The tirade against the King of Egypt can also be similarly interpreted.

ISAIAH 11:
Isaiah recorded in yesterday’s portion that Assyria’s army would come to Judah, but that Judah would be different from the other nations that Assyria conquered. And it did indeed happen like that!

HEBREWS 7:
Yesterday the author of Hebrews reminded us of Abraham and Melchizedek. We ought to have great confidence in our hope, because the God— who cannot lie— has given us both a promise and an oath. The last verse of Hebrews 6 introduces again the topic of Melchizedek:

Heb. 6:20 On our behalf Jesus has gone in there before us (that is, into the heavenly sanctuary) and has become a high priest forever, in the priestly order of Melchizedek.

Let’s pray.
Dear Lord Jesus, help me and my listener to be doing all that Hebrews chapter 6 teaches about moving on to maturity in our spiritual lives. I thank You that I can look back on my life and see the times you kept me from abandoning my belief in you and my relationship with You. Remind my listener also of all You have done like that in his or her life. We thank You that You have brought us to your light, we have tasted of heavenly gifts and the powers of the coming age, and have been instructed by the Holy Spirit. Your Word is true, and we have experienced how good it is. So help us to keep our eagerness to the end, clinging to the things we hope for. Because our hope and trust is not in ourselves. Our hope is in You and our Father God. Make our trust in You, Lord, like that of Abraham, so that we will receive what You have promised us. Lord Jesus, help us to be encouraged by the Father’s vow and promise, and to realize that You— our representative who has gone through the curtain into the heavenly sanctuary— are our guarantee for all that God promises.
