Ever Present Love - Discovering Jesusနမူနာ

# Still Speaking It seems ironic that Jesus needed encouragement. Yet here we read the Father’s declaration of who Jesus was and how the Father felt about him: “You are my Son, my cherished one, and my greatest delight is in you!” God wasn’t speaking to bystanders at the river; the booming voice of the Father spoke directly to his Son. When Jesus was tempted in the desert by the enemy, satan tried to confuse Jesus’ identity. It may sound unbelievable that the Son of God could ever doubt who he was, but Scripture tells us that he was tempted as we are (Hebrews 4:15). God gave him what he’d need during temptation—he reminded him who he was. The same is true for us. God knows exactly what we need and when we need it. If you’re in need of encouragement, reach out by faith and receive it. God loves to speak to us! Jesus, speak to me and encourage me the way the Father did for you. Help me tune out every other voice and hear yours only. I have more faith in your ability to speak to me than in my inability to hear you, and I believe that you love me.
