Again this is an area I will rather not cover, but may the Lord hide each of us.

Priestly Help

2. And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. ( Numbers 15:28 )
3. Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.… ( Hebrew 2:28 )

 

Justification

The Pharisee and Tax Collector

To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I receive.’

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

 

Dedicated

Dedicated to Dr. Teresa Conlon.

Upon watching some of her videos I heard the words paraphrased below:

May the Lord cover our heads in the day of battle. ( Psalm 140:7 )

 

Closing

Deep abiding prayers to those hearing voices.  Those out in the wilderness of life struggling to make sense.

It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come! ( Luke 17:1 )
