You Matter To God Cast your cares on him. Imagine having to tackle problem! With Whom would you desire to talk someone who has factual information or has mastered that problem. Sin is our most plaguing problem! Fortunately for us, Jesus has already conquered our sin problem and provides factual information to console our hearts. Jesus the Christ was tempted in all things just as we are, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Because He was tempted, He knows the power of sin. Because He knows the power of sin, He understands the predicament of the sinner. And because He understands the predicament of the sinner, He sympathizes with the sinner’s need for a priestly Savior. To sympathize is to be affected with the same feeling as another. Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses – He is affected by our feelings. Because He sympathizes with our weaknesses, He invites us to come to the throne (the very source) of grace with confidence, “Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need” (Hebrews 4:16). Confidence is a term used to describe the right of a citizen to speak on any subject and be heard in a “town meeting.” It is a right reserved for citizens and that slaves did not have. In times of need, Jesus listens to help us. Nobody does it like Jesus does it!

But a small voice said, the bands are broken move forward. Be encourage today because you can break And it reminded me how elephants are the band if you just keep moving. Don’t trained to be tamed. think about the force of the past just keep Elephants at its youngest are trapped, lassoed and tied to stakes, and unsuitable animal freed. Pulled into tight, wooden “crush” enclosures, they are tamed to obedience by a method called “phaajaan” or breaking of the spirt. Trapped barely able to move for days or even weeks in the crush cage and deprived and starved until they accept chains or harnesses without a struggle.
moving because it will break. You are stronger and bigger in heart, mind and soul. The wisdom and knowledge that you have learned, it is time to put it into action and don’t look back. Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9. The bands are broken!
