God Makes No Distinction

Hebrews 4:12-16  The Message

^12-13 God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.

^14-16 Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

For Reflection 

How do you judge whom to trust?  Classical Greek rhetoric would suggest that a person is trustworthy if he or she is fair, competent, consistent, truthful and has as his or her first interest your best interest.  Who is more competent, consistent, truthful and interested in your well being than God?  Our God, through Christ is in touch with the reality of our lives.  Our God is accessible.  Our God will make all things work for good.

Pray

for the kind of radical trust in the Lord that will see you through troubled times, good times, and in between times.
