His Special Favor 7/19/19

July 19 2019 His Special Favor – Manna by Dorothy & Tony Callies

“God saved you by His special favor when you believed.” Ephesians 2:8, NLT.
[Picked verse for the day from the jar].

Part of the writing is summary from the Daily Bread devotion:
We are encouraged to pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. (Hebrews 2:1)  

We have a good reason to stay close.  The author of Hebrews says that while the Mosaic (Moses’) law was reliable and needed to be obeyed, the message of the Son of God is far superior.  Which means that Jesus came and satisfied the demands of the law, so now our Salvation is “so great” in Jesus that He should not be ignored. (Heb. 2:3).

Question: What will help us stay anchored in Jesus?
Answer:  Spending time talking with Him in prayer and reading His Word, confessing our wrongs to Him, and interacting with other followers of Jesus can help us stay anchored in Him—He will be faithful to support us.

The story of devotion was about a family who was at the beach resort for snacks, watching the boats at the seashore, were anchored to prevent them from drifting away, they noticed one boat drifting away.  No one pay attention to it and slowly making its way out to sea.  So Hebrews 2:1 was given to believers, “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard so that we do not drift away.” 

May the Lord bless you today!
