Scripture:
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet he did not sin.
– Hebrews 4:15 (NIV)
Take comfort today knowing that Jesus lived among us. He experienced suffering and temptation as we do. He is our direct line to God and can fully empathize with our struggles. He overcame the temptations we face every day. He died for our sins after committing none Himself. He offers us His strength to stand up to our temptations and ultimately overcome them.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I am so grateful that you came to live among us, and that You know our struggles. You understand what we face in our humanity, yet, You overcame every temptation. I praise You. Thank You for being my Lord and Savior. Help me find Your strength and resist the temptations before me. Remind me in moments of temptation to call on You.
