Hebrews 2:16-18 (KJV) says, "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 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. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."

Demian was so overwhelmed by his trials and temptations that he stopped attending student fellowship and became inaccessible to his brethren. He felt that no one understood him and feared they would judge him. As an only child who had fallen into drug addiction early in life, Demian never felt loved until he met Grace, who invited him to fellowship. He became close to the brethren there, started attending fellowship regularly, and eventually accepted the Lord Jesus. But after certain issues arose in the fellowship, and some carnal brethren acted in ways that disillusioned him, Demian began to feel that faith and fellowship were just a charade. Despite this, he had truly accepted the Lord Jesus and established a solid relationship with Him.

One night, as Demian flipped through TV channels, he landed on TBN, where a preacher was teaching from today's Bible verse. At that moment, he realized that even though his brethren might not understand him, he had a high priest who did. From that point on, Demian began talking to Jesus and making scriptural confessions. He noticed that each time he did, his soul was uplifted, and the pressure and depression lifted from his heart.

Demian was saved from the despair that the devil wanted to drag him into because he understood the priestly ministry of Jesus and chose to relate to Him from that perspective.

Do you know that you have a high priest who understands you and wants to help you? Don't let the devil ever make you feel like you're alone. In the spiritual realm, there are more on your side than against you. The angels of God far outnumber the principalities and powers that want you to fail.

Go into today remembering that the way to connect with God's help is by coming to Jesus, your high priest, in confession and surrender. Let Him know exactly how you feel and ask Him to help you. Remember, He shed His blood for you, so there's nothing He cannot do for you.

Prayer: Lord, help me never forget that you're on my side to help me and not condemn me. Please strengthen me to know your love and live an empowered life.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
