He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood having obtained eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:12
How often does the average person think about eternal redemption? The words seem to boggle the mind. People go about their times of work, play, diet, exercise, problems, challenges, and interactions with their children, friends, and acquaintances and not once think about it.
But God the great Author has been unfolding His story of humanity, with eternal redemption being the great finale: From sin entering the human race through Adam and Eve to the raising up of His people Israel, rescuing them from bondage, and leading them to the Promised Land, to the birth, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. As today’s believers watch events unfold, as Jesus and the prophets predicted, they know the end of the story—eternal redemption, not only for individuals but for the creation as well (Romans 8:22-23).
The whole of the story culminates in an awesome end. Jesus offered Himself once, for all so that the believer receives the promise of eternal redemption. As you pray for the U.S. today, pray that people will turn to Him in thanksgiving for salvation. Compared to this, the dailies seem inconsequential. However, the Lord revealed Himself through the basic things of life, such as water, burning bush, rock, ax, snake, mud, sheep, coin, and light. In the same way, the Holy Spirit, reveals eternal truths in the details of your life, if you watch for them. Look for God in the little things. And with thanksgiving look forward to the day of Eternal Redemption and being in His presence.
