Day 21: Give It One More Day

Have you ever got to the point where you’ve just said "enough, I can’t do this anymore"? I’m sure there are a few of us who can remember breaking points like those. Some words I’ve recalled during moments like these are found in Hebrews.

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin." (Hebrews 4:15 NIV)

Our great high priest is Jesus Christ. Just before he took it upon himself to bear our punishment, guilt and shame, he pleaded with his Father. Jesus sweated drops of blood as He cried out for this punishment to be taken away from him. Because of Christ’s unending love for us, He endured the cross and paid our debt. For that, we cry a humble hallelujah. As we’ve just read though, it wasn’t without cost.

Jesus knows pain because He’s suffered it more than any of us ever will. Today, if you find yourself reaching one of those ‘breaking points’, cry out to God who not only hears you, but understands too.

Reflection Prompt: Write honestly: Is there anywhere you feel as if you're near your breaking point? What would you say to Jesus, knowing He fully understands?
