A reminder for
today
For in that he
himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are
tempted. (Hebrews 2:18)
My son had a terrible fall at school on Friday last week. He
was very sore and bandaged when I picked him up. That evening I took of the
band aids and cleaned his wounds and covered them in fresh dressings. He was
still sore but the careful cleaning and extra care I took made a huge
difference and the next day he was much better.
The enemy lurks around every corner of our journey and he
wants you to fall. He wants it to hurt and he wants you to question God for
your pain instead of looking at the real origin of your injury. You see the
enemy wants us to question our faith, because the minute we do that he gets a
hold on us. And then he will continue to abuse that until he defeats us.
I love this verse. Paul makes it simple when he says that
Jesus suffered temptation and pain and in that He understands exactly what we
are going through. He knows, because He felt, and He saw what we face every
day. This means that when we are hurt by the enemy, He will come and with love
tend to our wounds just as He washed the disciple’s feet. He will clean our
wounds and put on new dressings. Especially those wounds that we can’t see. The
one’s that is deep in our hearts.
He will take away the hurt and replace it with His love and
care. He will give us rest as David wrote in Psalms and He will restore us. He will
lift us up and he will make it well again with our souls. Pain heals but glory
lasts forever, so let us take the pain and keep fighting the enemy. Let us show
our faith and our saviour and save a life.
Let the Lord take care of all your pain today and watch Him
restore you to full strength so that you can stand again and fight. Never give
up!
Lord, you are just amazing, and you are our only hope. Restore
us and take away our pain so that we can stand and fight the enemy and turn
hearts back to you. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
