“Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.” Hebrews 2:18
” So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This Hight Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all the same testing‘s we do, yet he did not sin.” Hebrews 4: 14-15
“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and Spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.” Hebrews 4:12-13
Nothing in all of creation is hidden from our God in heaven. He knows not only our innermost thoughts and desires, but he also sees everything as he laid it out in the beginning. The evil of this world is being allowed to run rampant. But you and I can rest assured that our God knows exactly what is happening. He is in a war and you and I as his children are in this war as well. As human beings it is extremely difficult to watch the terror and the atrocities that are happening all over the world. It is hard to believe that these things represent a portion of our God’s overall plan. But they do. Our Lord Jesus Christ went through all of these things when he was on earth. He walked in our footsteps and knows our feelings and our thoughts. He knows what it is to be persecuted, to be spit upon, to be threatened, to have pain in his body, to fear and to die. He has been there and done it for us. We live in a world today that requires a faith so strong that nothing will allow it to waver. Our only hope is Jesus Christ. No matter the threats or the evil actions of those around us or throughout this world, we must not surrender our faith in Jesus. Even in the process of death our faith is required to remain strong. There is no doubt that our Lord is returning soon. He will not allow these evils to continue and harm his children. His plan is about to culminate, and we are to be a part of it. We are to keep our eyes looking upward and expecting miracles and answers to our prayers. Our God in heaven loves us and will never allow us to fail! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
