“Now the main point of what we are saying is this: we do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the tabernacle, set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being” – (Hebrew 8:1-2).

In every town there are Godfathers who help open doors for those seeking opportunities. Usually they are the well-connected big shots who hold the levers of power. Sometimes they ask for a price to connect you. At other times you are just lucky to know them to throw in a word without their asking. They hold keys to many offices.

As a believer you may ask, who is now my Godfather in this life? Perhaps you fear not being connected to the right family with means. Maybe you did not go to the right school where you could have met a power broker. Or, you fear that you come from a minor tribe with just a few big shots in town unlike others. Your Gender might be still at the wrong end of the stick. Who is my Godfather, you ask, to speak for me!

Do not worry. As a Believer in Christ you have a father who stands above all. He is the Lord Jesus Christ-and so, you are not alone. “What then shall we say these things, if God is for us who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us as all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32).

Where others have physical Godfathers looming everywhere, in every corridor of power, as a believer you have a father who is "at the right hand of God, who is interceding for us” (vv34). May this be God’s comforting word to you, just in case you worry that you lack a Godfathers, unlike those who beat their chests that they “know someone!”

Prayer for today: Lord God Father of Abraham, maker of heaven and earth, what a comfort to know that because of faith in you I have a Father in heaven ever interceding for me, who stands above any, and whom I surrender all my needs, this I pray in Jesus’s name!
