Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and apply

scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through Friday,

as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter,

make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together.

I'm excited about exploring God's Word with you, so let's get started.

Good morning. I hope you're enjoying the study of the book of Hebrews. It's so rich. I love the focus on Jesus. Let's jump in today in chapter 3.

mixes the idea that it's Jesus who's our Savior, but we have to have an allegiance for him that chooses

him over this world and remain faithful. Our walk with God requires constant attention and

encouragement. We're not meant to follow Jesus alone. When doubt or

discouragement creeps in, we need one another to speak truth and remind each other of God's faithfulness.

Our hearts can easily grow hard if we stop listening to his voice. We must be careful not to let

unbelief take root. Jesus is the glorious ruler over God's house, and we are his people if we stay committed and confident.

Each day presents a chance to trust him more.

Let us lean into our faith, stay connected with our spiritual family,

and encourage one another to remain faithful and obedient as we move towards
