Hebrews 4:15-16 He Knows and he Cares

Scripture:

Hebrews 4:15  For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

IF I WERE TO ARGUE THE FACT THAT GOD KNOWS AND GOD CARES IN A SITUATION SUCH AS WHAT WE ARE FACED WITH TODAY, I WOULD FIRST HAVE TO ANSWER A BARAGE OF QUESTIONS THAT LOOMS IN THE AIR.

AND I THINK THE ANSWER TO ONE OF THE MANY QUESTIONS THAT LOOMS IN THE AIR WILL UNLOCK SOME MUCH NEED WISDOM TO HELP GUIDE US INTO SOME SOLACE TODAY

BECAUSE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT BEGS TO BE ANSWERED IS .... WHAT DOES GOD HAVE TO DO WITH OUR CURRENT SITUATION (HOW DO KWE BRING HIM INTO THGE EQUATION)?

AND SECONDLY WHERE WAS HE MEANING WHY DIDN’T HE PREVENT FROM HAPPENING WHAT HAS HAPPENED

CAN I SUGGEST TO YOU, AND TO PUT IT BLUNTLY

AT SOME POINT WE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH GOD IN OUR DELEMA’S

BUT BE HONEST, THERE ARE SOME STORMS AND SOME TRIALS AND SOME TRIBULATIONS THAT INSTEAD OF CAUSING ME TO WANNA RUN TO GOD THEY MAKE ME RUN FROM HIM

IN OTHER WORDS I’M ANGRY

I’M MAD

I’M UPSET

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD GOD AIN’T EXCLUDED FROM MY HIT LIST

ALL DO RESPECT , BUT GOD … WHY MY BABY

GOD.....WHY MY FAMILY

CAUSE YOU WILL AGREE THAT IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH GOD WILL EITHER DO SOMETHING OR ALLOW SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, THAT FRANKLY YOU DON’T AGREE WITH

AND THIS WHY I SAY IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU DEAL WITH GOD IN YOUR DELIMA

NOW WHEN I SAY DEAL WITH GOD, I’M TALKING ABOUT

ENTERTAINING GOD’S WISDOM

ENGAGING GOD IN PRAYER TO GET COMFORT AND PEACE

OR ENTREATING GOD TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH

AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE GOD SPOKE TO ME ON YOUR BEHALF.... FAMILY

PSALM 31:15a My future is in your hands.

Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly

I TOLD YALL HE KNOWS.... HE KNOWS...HE KNOWS

I SERVE A GOD WHO IS OMNI-SCIENCE, MEANING THERE IS NOTHING HIDDEN FROM HIM

HE KNEW YOUR END FROM THE BEGINNING CONCERNING THIS MATTER

THIS IS WHY HE CHOSE TO ALLOW YOU TO GO THROUGH THIS SITUATION

HE’S NOT RESPONSIBLE

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS AS A RESULT OF SIN BEING SIN AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEVIL

BUT HE KNOWS YOUR OUTCOME

IN OTHER WORDS HE ALREADY KNEW PRIOR TO THIS EVENT HOW HE WAS GOING TO BRING YOU THROUGH

THAT’S A PRE-CURSER FAMILY LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS

BUT LET ME PAUSE PARENTHETICALLY TO SUGGEST THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE PUT A LOT OF FOCUS ON COMING OUT

WHILE NEGLECTING TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHOSE WITH ME IN THE MIST OF THE STORM

THIS IS A FINE TIME TO TEL YOU THAT GOD IS WITH YOU

HE’S NOT ON HIS WAY BUT HE’S WITH YOU

PSALM 46 SAYS IT THIS WAY, HE’S YOUR REFUGE AND YOUR STRENGTH A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF NEED

HE’S NOT ON HIS WAY HE’S JUST THERE

HE WAS THERE WITH YOU FROM THE BEGINNING

HE’S WITH YOU IN THE MIST OF THIS

AND HE’LL BE THERE WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS

WHEN THE CALLS STOP

WHEN THE CARDS STOP COMING

AND WHEN THE CROWD DIES DOWN

CAN I SUGGEST THAT HE’S THERE … HE WHO? GOD’S THERE

AND HE’S NOT IDLE

HE’S THERE TO RESTORE JOY

PSALM 94:19 When anxiety was great within me,

your consolation brought me joy.

HE’S THERE TO RESTORE PEACE

AND HE’S THER TO GIVE COMFORT
