Psalm 5:7  "But as for me, by Thine abundant lovingkindness I will enter Thy house, Thy holy temple,  I will bow in reverence for Thee."  Father in Heaven,  You do not take pleasure in the wicked.  They will fall.  They will be destroyed.  But, those who will repent and turn back to You, will find refuge.  Lead us in Your ways Lord.  Thank You for the  grace and mercy You have given to those who will believe.  Thank You for surrounding me with Your favor, "as with a shield".   You are faithful O Lord.  Your love "reaches the heavens". I am so thankful that You have given me salvation through Jesus Christ Your Beloved Son.  amen

Hebrews 1

God spoke to "fathers" - to Adam and Eve, to Moses and Noah, to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
God spoke to "prophets" - like Elijah and Elisha, Isaiah and Jeremiah Etc.
And then, God spoke through His Son, Jesus.

Jesus
The appointed heir.
The maker of the world.
The radiance of God's glory.
The "exact representation" of God's nature.
The One who "upholds all things by the word of His power". 
The One who "made purification of sins".
The One who "sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high".

He is higher than any angel.
He has "inherited a more excellent Name"
He is the "Begotten" of the Father.
He is "The Son".

The angels worship Him.
They are His servants,  His "ministers".
His throne is forever.
His scepter is righteous.
He loves righteousness and hates lawlessness.
He is anointed by God.

He laid the earth's foundation.
He formed the heavens.
There will come a time when these will perish, but He will never change.

"But Thou are the same, and Thy years will not come to an end"
All His enemies will be made a footstool for His feet.
He sends out His angels to "render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation." 

Meditate on these truths. Then, like David, bow in reverence for Him.
