A reminder for
today
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 High Priest of ours understands our
weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So
let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his
mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. (Hebrews 4:14-16)
So, we find ourselves smack bang in Tuesday and the week is
well on its way. Business as usual, because the enemy is hard at work to make
us fall and fail. Breakthrough! Now there is a word we should look at. It basically
means a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development or an instance
of achieving success in a particular sphere or activity. My verses today are
focussed on breakthrough. We need to break through the picture the world lets
us see and see the picture that God wants us to see. You see every day we are challenged
and when the enemy see that they are getting to you, even if it is only a
little bit, they will intensify the attack to break you. Now the world wants you
to see a picture of despair and hopelessness so that you will come to a point
where you question. The world wants you to see how the lost always seems to
free and happy and they just do what they want. They will make sin look good so
that you will be tempted. They will even say that you must try everything and
hold on to the best things. The enemy is not interested in them, because why,
they are already lost so why make them suffer.
Now, the picture that you have that replaces all these
corrupted views is the picture of a High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, which
understands our weaknesses, because He faced the same tests. He did not sin, so
we can come boldly to the throne of God where we will find true freedom and
peace by His grace and mercy. When we have the picture of God we have His love and
we have a new type of hope, because our hope is not build on the temporary, it
is build on forever. Our hope is in Jesus Christ and our picture consists of
His promise of a life in eternity.
Therefore, the enemy can make this world look as great as
possible, but nothing can compare to the world that awaits us. My challenges
can try and consume me, but I can enter the throne of God and my strength will
come from Him. The enemy can try and break me, but in me is the Holy Spirit and
He breaks for no one. All of this will end and when that happens, I want to be
the one that stood firmly in my faith. Now let us free ourselves from the world
and see only Jesus. He is the light, the way and the only living God. He is our
breakthrough. So, to the enemy, do your worst, because your destination is hell
and my destination is a life in eternity with my God.
Lord, we look at the wind and the rain and we hear how
nature worships you. Let us unite today and worship you with hearts filled with
you and eyes focused on you. Make us diamonds and let us shine with your glory.
Let us wear your armour so that we will not be afraid. Give us breakthrough. In
Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
