Hebrews 7: 16-17
Jesus became a priest, not by meeting the physical requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed. And the Psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied, "You are a Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:4.)
O my Father, You are so wise! Your Plan is so intricate and mysterious, yet it is also so simple and straightforward. You are laying out before us the unfolding of Your Plan, which You told us about beforehand.
O my Father, please strengthen me, continue to mold me into the image of Your dear Son; continue to teach me Your ways, and shape my character according to Your righteousness and love.
Grant me that kindness will rule my tongue, and help me to guard against any words or thoughts that would be contrary to Your love and kindness. Lead and guide me to do Your works; I am Your hands and feet, use me to accomplish Your will. And may I soon behold that Glorious Appearing of my King!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
