26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

Hebrews 7

Oh how I find myself stressed out about work - how weak am I and how unfaithful am I to misplace my hope and rest in earthly matters.  Lord forgive me!

I read here how You truly meet our needs and how right this is:

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

Without you we are both slaves to sin and slaves to the fear of death; with you we have the eternal hope of our sins getting washed away and eternal life in Heaven with You.  And as part of this great package we ALSO get God's rest, the rest one can find by "fixing" our eyes on Jesus.  THIS  does truly meet MY needs that's for sure.

This then becomes a matter whereby we must have patience, fix our eyes on Jesus, and to grow in Christ.

My Prayer: Lord, You ARE perfect, and You DO truly meet ALL our needs.  Yet  I place hope in jobs, and in earthly matters.  Please forgive me Lord and help me place all of my hope in You.
