Just call on Him He'll do the rest

"Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need".    Hebrews 4:14-16   NKJV

Jesus is all we will ever need. He is the author and finisher of our faith. Therefore, He was there at the beginning of our life, and He will be there when it comes to an end on this earth. He saw you as a child and watched you grow. He remembers your excitement when something wonderful was going to happen to you and, He can't wait to see this again when you enter into His heaven. That's a day that we just can't understand because, our brains are limited and we can't see that far into the future He has for each one of His people. Up to now, you have spoken to Him and He has spoken back to you. But try and imagine Him doing this when you can look into His eyes and see Him face to face. That time will come.

Jesus knows your heart - every inch of it. He knows all that you want to do to please Him but, because of human weakness can't do it because something always gets in the way. Usually, it is distraction. The devil will throw a covering over you that is intended to take your mind off Jesus and put it into the land of pleasure. He knows what you like and so he'll lead you to this place of weakness. When you are standing there, you feel helpless; you're being stretched two ways - to walk towards this temptation and enjoy it or, call on Jesus for help. If we can choose the latter, Jesus will reach down and hold us tightly until the temptation has passed. This is why at the end of verse 16 we read: 'that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need'.

The term 'in time of need' could also be quoted as 'in the nick of time. G. Campbell Morgan. This is because, Jesus is always on time. The scripture tells us 16 'Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace'. Quite simply, this means to pray to Jesus. As you do, He hears you and acts accordingly. You see, Jesus knows all about the ways of the devil. He was tempted as we are but didn't sin, in fact, He was tempted in all points as we are yet, without sin. He knows what our human life is like; He knows the trip flares and where that sniper is ready to take a shot at you. He knows all about what the devil has planned so, call on Him when you need to and keep on praying until He rescues you.

What a true friend He is!

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
