Fix Your Thoughts on Jesus, the Faithful Son
Scripture: Hebrews 3:1-6(NIV)
1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

Poem
Forget-Me-Not
Psalm 103
Bless the LORD, O my soul
And all that is within me bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul and forget not all His benefits
Psalm 103:1-2
Sweet tiny blue flower
With heart golden hue
Forget-me-not bouquet
I give unto you
I’ll focus, remember
All that you have done
Each day as sun rises
Her courses to run
With thoughts fixed upon you
Your benefits strong
The way you’ve sustained me
Forgiven my wrongs
Your constant compassion
Which heals all my ills
Your death which redeemed me
Your love, my heart stills
O, how could I forget
Your great loving care?
Your anger against me
Reined in, O, forebear!
Beyond any love
I have known on this sphere
True love and respect now
I boldly declare
So sweet little flower
Bouquet I now raise
Accept, Lord, this gift
As my offering of praise
