Blessings everyone.
My Sunday school teacher, David White, has been showing us many things from the Hebrew perspective. One thing that has really stuck with me is their respect and reverence for the word of God. When Paul wrote in Hebrews 4:12 that the Word is alive and powerful, it wasn’t new to them. They believe that every letter is not only alive but eternal, so it will never die. Jesus even said that heaven and earth will pass away but His word will never pass away. To us, it is a seemingly illogical truth to wrap our minds around, but to them, it was an accepted fact.
We get lots of tidbits like that each week. He also speaks a benediction over us every week. I wanted to share last week’s because it is so rich with scripture.
David White's Benediction:
May you hear the very words of God...and as they wash over you...may you see the veil being lifted...may you be transformed by what you see...may His presence be revealed in and around you...and may your heart and mind be directed towards Him...hearing the truth...and seeing the images that make it real...for He is your refuge and your fortress...who else will you trust...
For you have peace with God
For you have been chosen as an adopted child of God
For you are a living stone...together being built as the Temple of God
For you have access to the wisdom of God
For you have been reconciled to God
For you are under no condemnation
For you have His righteousness
For you are His representative...an ambassador to the world
For you are completely forgiven
For you have all your needs met by God
For you are tenderly loved by Him
For you are the aroma of Christ to God
For you are blameless and beyond reproach
For you are a new creation...all things are new...AMEN
I love you all.
Healed by His stripes,
Nancy
