Better things

Better Things

Hebrews 5:11-6:4, 9-12

Dear Father,

I am eager to be a good learner.
I want to get beyond needing milk meant for babies.
I want to digest the solid food of your word.
I want to be skilled in righteousness, able to distinguish good from evil.

Let me move past the elementary teachings of Christ
and go on to maturity,
not laying again the foundation of repentance.
Help me to lay hold of those "better things" that belong to salvation.

Thank you, God, for remembering the work and love that I render for your sake
in serving your holy people.
May I realize the assurance of hope right to the end,
so that I may not be sluggish,
but may imitate those who through faith and patience inherit your promises.

In the name of Jesus I ask.

Amen
