Leading The Way

If we look closely as believers we can always find someone leading the way. As I look back over time at places in my life where I felt as though I had been alone, many emotions seemed to be with me at those moments. But as I look to scriptures I see a different story. In everything, we have always had someone that went before us and “Has been there” before.

Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Here we see that someone is Jesus. He suffered all the temptations that we suffer, yet walked through it. We can know when we face these same temptations that Jesus faced them before we did. He made it. He can help us make it too.

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Even in the death of our mortal bodies with birth into the new, He went before us. Some may fear that moment of death, but we can know that Jesus went first. He will be there for us, waiting.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High. Thank You for another day with You. Thank You for sending Your Son. thank You Jesus for going first. Thank You for forgiving us. Thank You for Your kingdom. Please send us today healing, deliverance, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
