WALKING IN OUR FOOTSTEPS

” SINCE HE HIMSELF HAS GONE THROUGH SUFFERING AND TESTING HE IS ABLE TO HELP US WHEN WE ARE BEING TESTED.” HEBREWS 2:18

We are all aware that when Jesus was walking this earth he walked in our footsteps. He went through struggles just as you and me. He was persecuted, threatened by death, and physically abused. He died the most horrible death possible and went to hell and back, just so you and I wouldn’t have to. It easy for us to become impatient when we are going through struggles. We want the Lord to act in our lives quickly and not allow us to suffer anything. As a believer our faith and trust in him must stay strong. We know that he loves us, and we know that he died for us. But we cannot see the whole picture. We do not know how our struggles might affect those around us. When we are sick our Lord will get us through it, but he may use the sickness to heal someone else on the way to our healing. When we are struggling with our finances our Lord will be by our side and will deliver us out of our difficulty, but he may be using our struggle to help others along the way. We must be patient. Jesus has walked in our footsteps, but he may be and probably is using us as examples for others to see how our trust and faith in him can save us and get us through. Be focused, be faithful and never doubt! Our Lord God in heaven is forever faithful! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
