Needed Most

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
Hebrews 4:15-16 NLT

Jesus fully understands every temptation known to mankind. He faced them all but did not succumb to any of them. That's why He can help us. He can empathize with us, yet He knows how to rise above and He can bring us up higher, too.

Mercy is not getting what we do deserve for our sins and weaknesses. Grace is getting what we don't deserve - another chance, forgiveness, and mercies that are new EVERY morning...

Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV tells us, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Salvation by His Grace, abundant life by His mercies, and everlasting love that we cannot begin to comprehend. Exactly what we needed most.

Prayer:

Father,

           Thank You for instant access to Your throne of Grace. Thank You that we have only to utter Your Name from the heart and You are with us. Help us to understand the magnitude of that! What a great and loving God You are! Open our eyes to see and our hearts to receive. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
