Trust and Thanksgiving

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. (Hebrews 2:14-15)

Last night, I listened to Christmas music on the radio for the first time this year. I know it seems early for some people, but there is something beautiful about getting spiritually ready for the celebration of God’s greatest gift—Jesus. In fact, it ties in with Thanksgiving because of how grateful we are for Jesus. What would we do without him?

Jesus has the ability to heal us in any way. He gives us freedom in those bondages that make us slaves. He was human and knows what it’s like to suffer and be tempted. He’s been there. Along with that full understanding, he also has the power to help us. What do we need to do? Trust him.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for the wonderful gift of Jesus! Because of him we can have freedom. I pray that I can trust you in your healing power in all things. Amen

Faith tip: Live out your trust in God by seeking him and allowing him to work through you to gain healing and freedom.
