Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.  For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.  For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said Hebrews 4: 1-3a, NKJV Precious Lord, thank You so much for being with us as we study Your Word.  As we learn more about You, teach us how to apply the knowledge...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him; and He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. Psalm 119: 9, NKJV Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Holy Word, that has been given to us to keep us "clean."  Please help us to make good use of it; in Jesus' name.  Amen Today our promise is dedicated especially to the youth; but I am sure you will agree with me, that we can all  benefit by taking heed to the Word of God.  Cleansing is promised to those who take heed; those who pay attention to, who regard, God's Word.  Stated differently, those who...
