Hebrews 4:15-16
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Help defined:
- to make it easier or possible for somebody to do something that one person cannot do alone by providing assistance
- to provide somebody with advice, directions, or other information
Have you ever been tempted to give up on something you had previously set your heart to fully accomplish? Have you ever drawn back from your purpose? Have you ever under pressure and felt overwhelmed by the circumstances facing you? Well if your answers to any of the above questions are yes, you are not the only one who has been at the boiling point of a temptation, test or trial.
The scripture says Jesus also was tempted in all points yet without sin. How did Jesus overcome every temptation, I believe it was because He had help. Jesus lived a life here on the earth in closes fellowship and union with his Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “…yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.”
You are not alone, God is with you and He is for you. You have every available help in every situation. Love will never abandon you.
The scripture says to come boldly, meaning with confidence and deep assurance. Know that God will not reject your request for His help. He longs and waits to help His children but we must be willing to ask. Don’t let pride and the “I can do syndrome by myself” block the true help you need. There are heavenly resources available to you right now! Our heavenly Father is an extravagant giver. He is extreme when it comes to blessing His children. He will not scold you for asking for His help, it is His delight when you come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need.
So go ahead and approach the throne, Heaven is waiting to pour extravagant love on you now. Help is on the way today!
Amen, help is always available. Tap into it*
