You are not alone

Read Hebrews 4:9-16

Reflection of Tommy:

There are many sincere Christians who felt condemned because they experience temptation. Often, they also believe that they are the only one having this specific struggle; thinking no one will ever be able to understand or relate to them.

But, in today’s passage we can take comfort knowing that Jesus Himself, has experienced a full range of temptations throughout his life as a man. Jesus can truly sympathize with our struggle with temptations. We can be encouraged knowing that Jesus faced temptation without giving in to sin. With His strength and power, we too can choose not to sin when tempted.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for teaching me not to take my salvation for granted but to appropriate this gift through making daily decision and commitment to trust and obey You. May Your living Word, like the incisiveness of a surgeon’s knife, penetrate deep to reveal all my ways, good or bad and leading me in Your way everlasting. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
