“Our High Priest Understands”
by Dona Hake
For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.
Hebrews 4:15 AMP
Hebrews 4:15 AMP
How comforting it is when we share our hearts with someone, and we feel they understand. While that is a blessing there will be those times that the one you are sharing your heart with cannot understand nor can they identify with your pain for they having never weathered the storm you are in. We can always be comforted by the fact that Jesus will always be able to hear, sympathize and understand what we are dealing with. Our Lord knows our weaknesses and He knows our every need.
Oh that we would take comfort and courage in knowing that He walked here as a human yet He never committed any sin. Today let us praise Him that He not only walks close by our side but He sees into the distance and He knows what lies ahead of us, and He desires to give us the grace to get us through our day. This Great Conqueror desires to see us walk victoriously, and this should cause our hearts to rejoice!
Today let us expect Him to lead us away from the crooked paths, still the storms of our life, and gently lead us in paths of righteousness, for those paths speak of His works and echo His lovely Name to the world around us. He loves us more than we will ever know for we are His precious children.
