You Don't Have To Do, What You've Always Done

Good Morning!! Every Christian is tempted to fulfill the natural desires of life in illegitimate ways on a daily basis. Some of us struggle more with sexual temptation. Others with eating too much, desiring to control others, looking good at any cost, taking things that are not our property. The list could continue for pages, but you get the point.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.—Hebrews 4:14 (NIV)

It is surprising for some people to learn that the Bible shows us that Jesus knows what it is like to be tempted. He knows from experience what temptation is like. He is our high priest who intercedes for us with the Father. How comforting to know that He understands what we are going through,...even when we are tempted. We can go to the Father when we are struggling with anything, even temptation,...with an assurance that we will find understanding, and help.

Jesus was tempted,...but He did not sin. Let us learn to do the same.

Father, we are so grateful for the knowledge that Jesus experienced temptation too. This helps us know that You will continue to love us, and will respond with kindness and help, when we turn to You in the midst of a struggle with temptation. Lord we thank You. Amen.

" It doesn't matter who pays us,...we work for God."
