GOD HAS GONE AHEAD INTO TOMORROW

Hebrews 4:16-18 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 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.

One of the signs in the doctor’s surgery yesterday said ‘One Problem - One Appointment’!  I thought how wonderful it is that God doesn’t ever say that to us! He says to come to Him and make our requests known any time - His throne room is open to His children day or night no matter how many problems we have!

We are so blessed to have access to a loving Father and know He’s ready to listen and to come alongside and help us.

I was also reminded yesterday in Philippians 4:6 to come with thanksgiving and to be grateful for all the help God has given and how He’s rescued us in the past because it helps to remember how good and powerful God is.

So, whether you’ve had disappointments recently, or your situation hasn’t changed yet when you wanted it to, can I encourage us all to keep coming to the throne of grace for help with any and every problem we’re dealing with.

I think it helps to remember God has already gone ahead into tomorrow and prepared the way for us, whatever form our tomorrow takes, so we’re never dealing with anything on our own, or in our own strength. That’s why Jesus said we don’t need to worry about tomorrow.😊 It helps remind us that God is never taken by surprise, and He has the answer already. Thank You Lord.

I hope that helps somebody today. I know how deflated I was yesterday when I had a bad report but then I remembered God’s report, which is a good report which supersedes it, which says “For I will restore health to you and heal your wounds,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 30:17) It’s amazing how the Lord has supernaturally given me His peace that passes understanding. That good report of God is for you to grab a hold of in faith too, it’s not just for me!

I want you to know, even if you’ve been feeling downhearted or discouraged, we can keep looking up with hope and faith in the God who loves us beyond measure and He will work all things out for our good as He brings us through the storm.😊

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
