“Always There For Us”
By Zach Wood
Hebrews 4:14-16 NIV
“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. 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. Let us then approach God’s throne
of grace with confidence, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
I am thankful that I have had so many people in my life,
from the time I was a child until now, that I could look up to and rely on for
support and love. Whether it is a family
member, a good friend, a mentor, or a teacher, I have always had people who
would look out for me and help me along the way. I am thankful for the caring people that God
has put in my life to give advice and gently nudge me to help me make good
decisions.
It is always a great feeling when we know people are there
for us, loving and caring, helping us along the way when life is tough. It feels great to know people love and want
to help support us. However, these
people are human and they will let us down from time to time. It isn’t that they don’t really care, but
they are human and sometimes they just don’t say the right things or do the
right things. We end up getting hurt
sometimes by people we really love and care about.
While it is absolutely wonderful to have others whom we can
turn to and rely on for support and strength, we must never forget Whom we can
completely rely on every moment of every day and Whom will never let us down or
break a promise. He is always available
when others are not. He is always right
there to hear us when we need to vent our frustrations. He is always waiting to hold us when we are
hurting.
As we enter this New Year, let us be reminded that our
Savior, Jesus Christ, is always available for us and is there to guide and
strengthen us when we need it most. We
can confidently approach God and know that He will never be too busy to hear us
or sympathize with us. In our greatest
times of need, He is always ready and willing to walk with us and comfort
us. No matter what, He is always
there.
He is able, more than able, to sympathize with anything we
are going through.
