"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)
Suffering and temptations are a necessary part of our development process. In fact, when they occur we have not only a way of escape, but we have a helper that uniquely knows and understand our struggles because He's been there and done that!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for knowing and understanding our struggles and temptations. Thank you for faithfulness, mercy, and help! Amen.
1 Cor 10:13. . . . There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. KJV
