Hebrews 1
The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you”?
Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,“He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10 And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end.”
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman
Life-commandments November 4th
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.” 1 JOHN 5:3-4
John quickly turns us to life because he knows that whatever these commandments are, they are related to the supply of life within our being — “whatever is born of God.” These life-commandments are the instant speakings that we have during the day — for example, “Do not look at that.” or “Do not say it in that way.” This is not burdensome. It is coming out of the fellowship of life. Because I am in the fellowship of this life, I experience the sensitivity of its nature. I experience the necessity of its nature, which is to love the Father and to follow Him, “to refuse the evil and choose the good” (Isa. 7:15).
The necessity of that life in me is to follow the Lord in my daily living. And when I follow Him as life, I am following His commandments, and they are not burdensome. It is not as if I am here and God is up in heaven telling me what to do, and then I am trying to do it. It is not like that. God is imparting Himself as life and supply into us, giving us an installation of divine power, with everything that pertains to “life and godliness” (2 Pet. 1:3). Then He tells us to take a step, to walk with Him. He has already installed His life into us, but there is still a step needed, a step of obedience. And when we take that step of obedience in our life, there is a deeper perfecting of the love of God in our relationships with one another. As we live in fellowship and obedience, we will be able, with an ability given to us by God Himself, to bring God’s unconditional love into our relationships.
