Our Advocate

For Wednesday, August 5, 2020.

Matthew 11:28 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

If there’s chaos in our lives, we don’t have to fight it alone. God is on our side, and Jesus is in our corner. If we’re tired and all run down from life’s problems, Jesus says, “Come to me.”

For God, there’s more than just seeing us again in heaven. He also wants to help us get there, which means intervening in our difficult situations. God doesn’t just stand on the sidelines watching us struggle with our problems. God gets right to work; he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. After all, when the world was a mess, God dropped his Son right in the midst of people who needed a Savior!

God is still in control, and he will rescue us. Our God never says, “You’re on your own!” Instead he says, “Come to me – I can help!” Isn’t it good to know that the creator of the universe is our advocate during our time on earth!

Blessings and safety to all today!
