Hebrews 6:17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
Thank you God for giving us the promises of Your mercy, refuge, hope, strength and shelter. Forgive us for only running to you when trouble arises. Guide us on Your path. Change our heart, mind and soul toward You. Keep our eyes from straying toward things of this world that would replace time with You and Your purpose. Strengthen and give us courage to do and say what Your spirit is speaking to us. Use us to encourage others and confirm your steadfast love. Amen
