Today’s reading is Hebrews 2
“Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:17-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the writer of Hebrews says, “For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Do you go to Jesus when you are being tempted? Do you rationalize the temptation and convince yourself it’s actually a good thing or God will wink at it because of your makeup? It’s very powerful to pray to Jesus in the moment of temptation. Something happens that makes it easier to walk away or just not as desirable anymore. Please pray that we and our friends see the temptations for what they are and not be deceived into hurting ourselves. Please pray for Carla Miles and her need of reliable transportation.
