“The devil said, ‘If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say, “You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only Him!”’ (Deuteronomy 6:13). So the devil left Him.
Then some angels came to Jesus and helped Him.”
Matthew 4:9-11 ERV

Hold on, family—we’re getting to the part where some angels came to help! Y’all, that sentence made my soul shout because help is on the way.
I know it’s hard. I know that all of us are fighting through something at any time. I can’t measure my pain against yours because there is no comparison; we are all suffering in our own way. But then—the angels come and help. It is written that God will always be with us and be our ever-present help.
I would challenge you to not compare where you are in life against Social Media guidelines. When you snap a picture in time everything is always picture perfect. They have the cutest clothes, the newest bag, the best makeup, the most organized house, the cleanest laundry, the perfect kids, all of their recipes tie out perfect and have no fat. Even their pets are the best clothes wearing, sunglasses wearing pets in the world. None of that is sustainable, it’s a picture in time and should not be used to measure how you are doing. What has God asked of you? What does God want you to do? Do those things and measure yourself against the one who matters. The one provides, Jehovah Jireh or the one who sees you, El Ro, that’s who will be your ever present help during times of trouble.
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:10 NKJV

Don’t despair. Don’t be discouraged. And don’t you dare think about giving up—help is always available.
“It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
Isaiah 65:24 NKJV

And that’s just how it is!
