Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Thought: Seek righteousness. Righteousness is defined as a right relationship with God not through personal merit or good works.
Application: Be more accepting of the fact that I will fall short of the standard of being all that I should be, but I should strive to be better each day. If I am to be more like Jesus, then I have to have a relationship with him. I have to know his character to improve mine.
Response: Lord, I am thankful that you know my heart and allow me to grow each day. I pray that you help me to grow closer to you and show me how mirror you in the world

Just as Jesus resisted temptation and sin and always chose God in tough situations, we should try our bests to do that too and follow in his footsteps
