Scripture:  Hebrews 12:3

Scripture Reading:  “Think constantly of him enduring all that sinful men could say against him and you will not lose your purpose or your courage.”

Thought:  #1 form of meditation that we humans do constantly?  Worry.  We think about so many things, and worry about so many issues that are simply NOT OURS.  Jesus says to us in His word – THINK OF HIM.  Think of him enduring.  Think of him enduring all that sinful men could say.  Somehow by doing this, WE keep our purpose and our courage!

Reflection 1:  How can you think about Jesus more today than most days?  What does it look like to think about him throughout the day?

Reflection 2:  In what ways do you need to remember today your purpose? Your courage?

Prayer:  Lord I am asking today for a window into your purpose . . .and your courage.  I give you this day.
