Thursday, November 21st | Hebrews 10:31-39

Passage:
31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way. 34 For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, because you know that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession. 35 So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.

37 For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.
(Hebrews 10:31-39 CSB)

Song:
Children of the Living God by Fernando Ortega

Lyrics:
Children of the living God
Come and sing sing out loud
Children of the living God
Sing to the living God

Sing of the wonders He has made
Bird in flight falling rain
Sing of the wonders He has made
Sing to the living God

How He loves us with great love
He who sits enthroned above
For our lives He spilled His blood
Sent His Spirit like a flood
Children of the living God
Sing to the living God

Sing of His gentle healing hands
How they found the lowliest man
Sing of His gentle healing hands
Sing to the living God

Sing of the mercy that He gives
Though we sin He forgives
Sing of the mercy that He gives
Sing to the living God

Sing for the morning when He comes
In the clouds glorious Son
Sing for the morning when He comes
Sing to the living God

Prayer:
Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that bringing forth in abundance the fruit of good works, they may be abundantly rewarded when our Savior Jesus Christ comes to restore all things; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
-Book of Common Prayer
