TRIED AND TESTED

TRIED AND TESTED

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every way has been tested as we are yet without sin”…(Hebrews 4)
This most amazing verse gives me the most encouragement when I go through tough times in my daily life. Is it not encouraging to know and believe this glorious truth that no matter what in life you may be going through, our Blessed Lord can sympathize with us for it was the will of God Almighty that He should be tested in every respect for our sake. We however being rational animals, could reason out in such a manner saying, “ Well was’nt Jesus Christ the Son of God? Yes, he Is the Son of God, but he is also fully human and and lived His life on earth with Human Frailty. He like any of us, had to rely on the Holy Spirit to keep him from sinning and giving into the temptation of the devil. But also notice one more thing. “ The Bible says he has been tested in “every way” yet he was found without sin. The same is not true for us. For scripture says that God will not allow trials and tribulations greater than our ability to endure. I would like to mention this again, ‘ Whatever you may be going through, whatever may be your struggle, you have one blessed assurance that our Lord Jesus Christ is not only able to see you through this situation or circumstance, but is also able to identify with & Sympathize with you for there is nothing that you are going through that he has not been tested with and Yet victorious over Sin. So what does the Bible say that we must do? It says in Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with utmost boldness so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Yes, we can enter God’s presence with boldness because his blood has washed away our sins & our guilt taken away on the Cross

Prayer
Loving Father, I come before you the way Iam. Lord Jesus, i come to you with confidence not on the account of my ability or good works but on account of your Most Holy and precious blood that you have shed on the Cross for me. Apart from you Iam unworthy. I thank you for paying the price of my sin on the Cross. Lord, it is so encouraging to know that when you were on this Earth you were tested in every way for my sake and Yet without sin. You also took upon yourself my sin and suffered the punishment you did not deserve for my sake So, i believe that you are able to deliver me from all my sinful ways and see me through every circumstance i put my faith in you. Fill me with your blessed Holy Spirit and lead me to the Father's throne Amen.

Have a Blessed Day
