For we have not an
high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but
was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:15
For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9
God sent is son into
this world to deliver us from the penalty of sin. There was none on this earth
who were perfect, for through Adam’s bloodline all had sinned and fallen short
of the glory of God. Seeing that there was none among us to deliver us from
wickedness unto righteousness, God sent his ONLY begotten son. Hebrews reminds
us that he was touched by our infirmities; Christ had compassion on his Father’s creation, so he laid down
his life. People lose sight of
the fact that Christ was 100% God and Man. There were many times
he was tempted just as we are. The devil offered Him the world, He could have
passed from taking the cup in the Garden of Gethsemane, but instead He was without sin.
For that you should truly be grateful. Our second focus verse taken from Isaiah
declares to us the revelation we should grow to see and understand; in our
deepest stage of evil God had already formed a plan for Salvation, He had
already ordained the time and day His son would come. He had already planned a
way of escape for His children. Despite what I may
think is best, I am glad that God knows best… There have been numerous times where I
pondered the question what is God up too and this passage from the prophet simply tells
us today that His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are higher than ours.
So when you fill in despair about your circumstance and can’t seem to
understand your situation, know that God is at work and it all will work for
the good, for those called according to His purpose! When we think about
situations, we immediately begin to form our own plan and directions for
action; Isaiah reminds us today that as a child of God we must realize that we
have to walk by faith and not by sight. We must ignore the way in which the
world declares right and hold to Gods unchanging hand! These verses unified
together encourage me to understand that He sees your frustration, He feels
your pain, He knows everything that you have faced, but furthermore it empowers
me to remember that He has planned a course that will help you bare every
burden, He has set a time for you to reap the harvest of your labor and He will
never put more on you than you can bare! Jesus was crucified that we might live; today He sits at the
right hand interceding on our behalf… God has always made a way out of no way;
He has always shown up on time, He has always turned our darkness into day… You
may not understand every situation, you may not understand every valley, you
may not understand every cloudy day, but what you must know (as a Christian) is
that God doesn’t make mistakes, what you must know is that He has gone to
prepare a place for you! In this place there will be no more weeping, there
will be no more sadness, there will be no more pain, there will be no more sin…
Everyday will be Sunday, Sabbath will have no end and you will walk the streets
of gold giving God the highest Praise because He heard your prayer, He saw your tears and He prepared a way
for your victory!
GO ALL IN FOR CHRIST!
