"And it was necessary for Jesus to be like us, his brothers, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God, a Priest who would be both merciful to us and faithful to God in dealing with the sins of the people. For since he himself has now been through suffering and temptation, he knows what it is like when we suffer and are tempted, and he is wonderfully able to help us. (Heb 2:17-18 TLB) As one song writer put it, "Jesus knows all about our struggles; He will guide us til the day is done!" We are not alone in our struggles. Jesus, our savior did not save us and then leave us! He has been through what we are going through and more importantly, He knows how to bring us through. He's been there and done that!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being our merciful and faithful High Priest. Help us through our struggles and bring us to perfection. Amen.
1 Cor 10:13. . . .No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. MSG
