Ezekiel 3:16-6:14, Hebrews 4, Psalms 104:24-35, Proverbs 26:27
What God said to me – When you are going through difficult times, whether it’s health issues or financial problems or loss of a loved one or temptation of some kind – well-meaning people can give you advice or try to encourage you, but if they have never gone through what you are experiencing, often their words are not helpful. However, when someone who has gone through the same things reaches out to you, it means so much more because you know they understand and they can help you and encourage you in ways others can’t. When I sent My Son, Jesus, He was tempted in all the things you are, yet He did not sin. He can sympathize with you and encourage you in whatever you are going through because He went through the same things. Don’t try to go through it on your own – draw near to the throne of grace with confidence and you will receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
