Quiet Time
Frustration Relief
Date: September 25, 2008
Read: Hebrews 2:10–18
Jesus offers a word of comfort and encouragement to us when we are in a crisis; helping us to look beyond our immediate troubles to the triumph that has already been secured. Because Jesus became completely human like one of us in a physical body, we can know He understands our human frustrations. He did this so that by dying He could destroy Satan, the one who has power over death and free us who are like slaves all of our life because of the fear of death. Jesus had to be made like us in every way so He could be our merciful and faithful High Priest in service to God. He brings us forgiveness for our sins and now He can help us because He Himself suffered and was tempted. Jesus does understand our needs, sufferings and temptations. He helps us in our times of testing and temptation. Praise God! Jesus does know about life on earth. He does know how we feel. We need to run to Him in all of our sufferings, struggles and temptations. He is the “Only One” who is able to give us Grace and encouragement for suffering and strength to flee temptations. What heartache and suffering are you facing? What temptation is seeking to destroy you? You are not alone, He is there to walk with you. Cry out to God!
