Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-23

Hebrews 2:18 (NKJV) 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Jesus was tempted in all areas. And He remained sinless.

Was it easy for Him?

No. It was exceedingly painful at times. But because He was tempted, He knows what temptation involves and what it feels like. And He can sympathize with us.

You see, if you don’t go through things yourself, you can’t really help others. If you don’t understand what they are dealing with, you can’t walk them through it.

Jesus understands.

Some of us today are being tempted repeatedly, to the point where we are about ready to just give in so it will stop.

But, remember that we have dwelling in us Him who helps us not to give in.

He is our rock, our strength. He is the giver of wisdom, and He will help us to discern and make right decisions.

His strength is made perfect in our weakness, we just need to walk in it.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I say to whoever is struggling this moment with temptation, “you are not fighting it alone”.

You have Someone who will aid you and help you to overcome it. Cry out for His help. Don’t be ashamed.

Amen.
