Scripture:
John 8:6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
Observation:
The first stone. You know we all have a "first stone" of judgement that needs to fall to the ground. And like those accusers most of us have that stone in our hand poised and ready to throw. I know i do. I hate it but I do. I need to open my fist and allow it to fall from my grip
Application:
I want to be ready to open my fingers and let the stone fall to the ground. I want to stop the potential judgement in my mouth to fall away. truly I want to avoid picking up the "first stone" all thgether.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to see what you see in people. I want to be like you Jesus seeing what you see. when you looked at the woman caught you saw a woman who needed to be free. when you saw people ready to judge, you say people who needed to release their judgement. all about freedom. - i love you

Free at last
Scripture:
Hebrews 7:26 He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.[f] 27 Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people.
Observation:
Jesus did it all! i don't have to go back and forth hoping that God will forgive my sin. i don't need to offer up to the Lord a penance or some sort of sacrifice in hope that he will receive it. No i can run into the presence of the most high god and priest Jesus Christ who paid the penalty for my sin. I am so grateful
Application:
Tod i need to rest in the work of my Savior. Often I want to beat myself up for the sin issues of my life thinking it will in some ways help the Lord be OK with me. NOT TRUE! He loves me and paid my penalty to prove it
Prayer:
I love you Jesus. Thank you for my life. I am nothing without you. I need you. I love you
