Devotionals
"Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
This verse is a friendly reminder that-THE LORD GETS IT!! He understands what we go through in our daily lives! We all get tempted many times a day. We all have the tendencey towards doing wrong. Thankfully, though Jesus was a human, he was perfect, so while he felt these temptations, He was able to resist them with the help from the Father.
Verse 14 talks about how he has shared in our humanity, and that by his death he has destroyed the hold that the devil haves on us. Here is another friendly reminder-NOTHING THE DEVIL DOES WILL SEPERATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD(see Romans 8:38-39) Whenever anyone feels far from God, remember those words-NOTHING can seperate us from Gods love! That is the greatest knowledge of all: that the almighty, all powerful God of the universe has our back!
Most of Hebrews declares this truth-that God sent His son to break the spell of evil over the world. The victory has already been won, we just have to walk it out!!! We HAVE victory, we just gotta OWN IT! DECLARE IT! LIVE IT. TALK ABOUT IT! I have been told many times by many wise people that the greatest way to feel better(and make the devil go away) is to PRAISE God! Thank Him for His awesome work and awesome promises and miracles. Miracle is not just a pretty word that makes us feel good and hopeful. Miracles are things that God does everyday! Its His job. And He always delivers when He says he will do a miracle! He knows how we feel. He knows how easy it is to loose faith. Jesus Himself got scared quite a bit. He just didn't give into it, and trusted His father.
Every book of the bible comes down to one simple, wonderful fact. God loves us! He knows our needs. He has been in our situation, or worse. Your Father understands. Your Father can help you. Rejoice today that "Because he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is also able to help us when we are being tempted."
love,
Jamie
