Thursday... They did it, they did it.

Hebrews 5:8 (NIRV), "Jesus was God's Son. But by suffering he learned what it means to obey."

Thursday... They did it, they did it.

No, I'm not saying that the Dodgers won the pennant last night, though they did. No that's not it. But it is that there are people who are learning from situations in their lives and maturing from them and then choosing what is right instead of wrong.

Hebrews 5:8 says, "Jesus was God's Son. But by suffering he learned what it means to obey." He didn't waste his suffering. And then verse 14 (AMP), "But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil." Their senses were trained.

How we respond and learn from difficult situations in our life that are there to teach us goes a long way in our maturing. And maturing is so important in our life. Growing through difficult situations goes a long way in our maturing. Jesus is our great example.

The writer in verses 11-13 says, "There is so much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don't seem to listen. You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to be teaching you the basics things about God's word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn't know how to do what is right."

Life is there for us to learn. God's word is there for us to learn. And there are so many who are doing, learning, growing, and maturing and who are following God and eating solid food.

Back to verses 8-9 (NLT), "Jesus was God's Son. But by suffering he learned what it means to obey. In this way he was qualified as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him."

And we need to follow his example. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning
