Wednesday, February 15th

Today's passage from the Chronological Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Leviticus 8-10
Today's scripture focus is Hebrews 10:35-39

35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.” 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

Yesterday we wrote that the first deterrent to apostasy was to remember.

The second deterrent to apostasy is the promise of a reward.  Don't get trapped into looking at the present with all it's problems and get stuck there.  Look back and remember how wonderful the stirrings of the Spirit were, and look ahead to how wonderful it will be for all eternity.  Have patience, and go on to full belief and live by faith.

Christ offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice and only left us with two choices - accept Him or reject Him.

Tomorrow's scripture focus: Hebrews 11:1-2
Tomorrow's Bible In a Year Passage passage: Leviticus 11-13
