He Understands
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. (Heb 4:15)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you bring your trial to Jesus you come to the Good Shepherd Who was troubled by the same temptation. He knows our weaknesses and He will walk with you through it. "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
For our God-given desire to overcome temptation we have this sure hope: Jesus was tempted by the same and He overcame it. He is able.
Don't look at the discouragement of your ability... He said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." (Luke 18:27) We can boast gladly of our weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon us. (see 2Cor 12:9)
Let us look to Him Who is able to do far more than we could ask or imagine. Let us look to Him and we will find endurance and help in our time of need.
Lord Jesus, You know our every thought, every trouble, every temptation, and all my weaknesses. You have experienced the same trials, and You have overcome.
Grant me the grace to walk with You, to know Your sympathy for my weaknesses and to receive grace and encouragement to continue on- resting in You. Amen.
Today's very great and precious promise
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16)
We have God's Word on it.
