SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 12-11-02
My
Worship Time Focus: He is God enthroned and anointed PT-2
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference:
Hebrews
1:9
Message of the verse: “ 9 You
have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has
anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.’” (NKJV)
“You love what is right and hate what is wrong. Therefore God, Your God, has anointed you,
pouring out the oil of joy on You more than on anyone else.”
This quotation is from Isaiah 61:1-3
and continues with what the writer has been writing about, the Superiority of
Christ over the angels. The verse speaks
about how the Messiah loves righteousness and how he hates lawlessness. Because of this God has anointed Him with the
“oil of gladness more than His companions.”
The word companion is only used a few times in the New Testament and may
be referring to either men like the prophets, priest, or kings or it could
refer to angels.
Spiritual meaning for my life
today: The more that I read about
the superiority of Christ to angels and latter on to Moses and the OT
priesthood, the more I want to praise Him for being my wonderful Savior. There is no one else who could have done this
for me, Jesus is the only one and I am thankful more and more each day.
The Word of God
has brought a sense of awe to me today.
My
Steps of Faith For Today: To continue to
trust the Lord to bring glory to Himself through my weakness of IBS. To trust the Lord and serve Him today in all
that I do.
Memory
verses for the week: Eph. 2:10; Mark
12:30’ Romans 12:5
For
we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.
Love
the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
…so
in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the
others.
