“For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin” Hebrews‬ ‭4:15‬, Amplified.

God is a God of experience. In Hebrews, it talks about how Jesus our High Priest didn’t remain in Heaven and redeem us from there. He decided not to stay clean and untouched. He came among us. He experienced what you experience.

He decided to come to earth and go through what you go through.

He knows how it feels to lose a loved one and weep over them. He knows how it feels to hurt, to see how people can treat you one day and change the next. He was betrayed. He experienced the temptation for glory, people blaming you, financial needs, walking in love when those close to you walk away, and the inner fight to do God’s will. Right now, be deeply encouraged. Jesus can truly sympathize with whatever you are going through.

Give thanks to God for saying I will not allow you to go through something that I’m not willing to go through Myself, even death. I’m going to go through it all with victory and I’m going to give My help, My grace, My peace, My strength, My victory to you.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You. You know what’s is like to be human. You’ve been through everything I can go through in life. You defeated it, even hell and the grave, and with You on my side, I can defeat it also. I thank You for giving me Your victory. I ask for Your mighty grace. Lead me Holy Spirit into every victory Christ has provided today! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
