Wow, this gives us such hope! We have a high priest who knows exactly what we go through, who resisted all temptation and conquered death for our sins, and who never sinned. Jesus is the one that we should always keep our eyes fixed on. Circumstances can tempt us to disobey God. If we focus on our circumstances too long, then God’s Word will fail to influence our lives. Jesus is the one we should follow and try to be more like every day. He doesn’t come to judge us but to encourage us to follow Him to get us to a place of ultimate peace. That’s why God must help us to stay focused on the One who is most important in our life, Jesus.

Let’s say we want to go on a trip, and we just start driving without planning out our route. We decided we would just pick roads that looked good without really knowing if they would lead to our goal. The route could lead us to terrain that our car can’t handle, and we have no guarantee that we will end up at our destination. Now what if we had researched our trip using a map that was created by an expert that could guide us on the best route to get us to our destination safely? Shouldn’t we choose this method of proceeding? Just like our lives, we don’t know what lies ahead for us, but God gave us a map to follow so that we could count on Him to lead us. The Bible provides direction, guidance, and things to avoid along the way.

We should actively seek out God’s Word daily and not let circumstances distract us from our main purpose. When life is going well let’s praise God and when life is hard and there is uncertainty, let us seek Him in His Word and through prayer and acknowledge that He is all-knowing and loves us enough to guide us with hope and peace.
