No Greater Support System Possible


“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death……For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest.”
Hebrews 2:14a, 16-17

Suppose you needed some encouragement and support in an area of your life that you had been struggling in or to accomplish the mission and purposes for which you were created? Now suppose you could find words of encouragement from someone who had faced a similar issue but had pressed through it with success and victory or another person who, though they may be willing to help, had never faced anything remotely close to what you were going through.
Given the opportunity most would choose the one who made it through in victory because there is a perspective and wisdom there we desperately need to hear. How much infinitely more so would our advocate and intercessor in heaven, Jesus Christ, be able to offer assistance and encouragement?
Maybe as you read the posts on this blog, they have challenged you and you so much want to accomplish God’s plans and purposes for your life.
Be assured of this, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are on your side to see you through.
If you can top that trio let me know!
So often we approach life as if God is, at worst, an enemy or, at best, indifferent to us. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Those who, by faith, have become Abraham’s descendant’s and made Jesus Christ savior and Lord can be assured that not only the Son, but the Father and the Holy Spirit are cheering us on to victory in accomplishing our mission.
