Thought for Wednesday January 11


The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name;
make known among the nations his deeds.
Sing to him, sing his praise,
proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

Hebrews 2: 14 – 18  Surely he did not help angels but rather the descendants of Abraham; therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way,  that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God to expiate the sins of the people. Because he himself was tested through what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.

Can I imagine Jesus being like me in every way – getting a headache, enjoying a cool breeze on a hot day,  eating something that upset his stomach, cheering for the Capernaum Cowboys football team, …?   Do I ever think about Jesus’ suffering when I am having a bad day?

Action:  Be merciful and try to empathize with people who are having a bad day.
