March 19 Thought for the day...you always have someone on your side

There are times in all of our lives where we can feel alone like we don't have a friend in the world. There can be times when can feel like no one understands. I want you to know today, that is not true. You always have someone on your side. The writer of Hebrews makes that clear. Hebrews 4:14-16

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest, who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

The writer is telling us we have someone who knows all we are going through, all of the time. He is always standing in the gap for us. He is our High Priest, Jesus. He was tempted in every way that we have been tempted, so he understands, empathizes and gets us through everything we may face.

He loves us so much and knows us so well we are told to come "boldly." This word means to be outspoken, strongly direct when you are approaching God. Why boldly? You are His family, He loves you and wants to help you fulfill the dreams He has placed on your heart. He expects us to come to Him with full confidence that we are loved!

He is always on-time. The phrase in "time of need," means that God will always make things happen for us at just the right time, the appropriate time, exactly on-time!

As our High Priest he knows everything there is to know about us (read Psalm 139), he knows exactly who we are and what we need. He is always with us and for us. We are never alone nor abandoned. He is always on your side!
