Mankind is LOwer than Angels at this Time (Heb. 2:8)


SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 12-25-02

 

My Worship Time                  Focus: Mankind lower than angels

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                         Reference:  Hebrews 2:8

 

            1.  Message of the verse:  “’You have put all things in subjection under his feet.’ For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.”  (NKJV)  ‘“You gave him authority over all things.’ Now when it says ‘all things’ it means nothing is left out.  But we have not yet seen all of this happen.”  (NLT)

            Whenever I had read this passage I thought that the writer was speaking of Christ, but now it seems to make more sense to me that he is writing about mankind, and probably before the fall.  Because of the fall mankind is not capable of fulfilling the administration of the earth which God had ordained for him to do. 

 

2.  Spiritual Meaning for my life today:  Because of sin that entered the human race at the fall I do not realize how much it affects all aspects of my life.  If it were not for the grace of God through Jesus Christ then I would not even realize how much of a problem that sin is in my life.

 

The Word of God was both convicting and refreshing to me today.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  By faith I want to trust the Lord to see me through the events of this day, because of the trouble that I do have many times with IBS.

 

Memory Verses for the week:  Romans 12:5; Philippians 2:5; 1Peter 4:10

 

…so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

 

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus…

 

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others…
