Who Knows?

Right now many of us are facing significant challenges. Our world literally stopped 6 weeks ago and the aftermath of this pandemic continues.

But what didn’t come to a standstill?  Life. People still face illnesses, broken marriages, deep hurt, and even death. Those things don’t just stop.

Facing difficult circumstances can be just a bit less intimidating when you connect with others who are either walking the same path or who are several paces ahead of you. These people understand your journey in a way others can’t. They get it because they have walked it.

Do you know who else understands because He has lived it?  Christ Jesus. God came in the flesh to break the power of death and sin. He lived a life of flesh.

Hebrews 2:17 says, “For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”

When we start feeling all alone, or tell ourselves no one could ever understand, take heart. He knows your struggle. He understands how evil is tempting you to fall into the trap of despair.

God knows your struggle. He understands. He is able. He loves you too much to allow you to journey alone.
