Isaiah 51:12 – I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of a man who will die, and of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
God of all Comfort
Our God, the God of all comfort, can lovingly touch all heartache, despair, darkness, pain, evil, and desperation. As we walk through life, we will all experience different situations. The question is; how will we react? Will we worry, will we panic and loose hope?
We may face severe tribulations, our paths may be rough and conditions may be bleak, our outlook may be dim, But the God of all comfort—the God who Himself has suffered indescribably at the hands of people—will aid us, encourage us, strengthen us, and guide us. That is a promise!
Jesus Understands our Needs
Because Christ has experienced the ridicule and rejection of people and now stands as the Great High Priest, the throne of grace beckons every believer:
- In the heat of the fight—the Light of Life is with us.
- In the midst of the storm—the Prince of Peace is our steadfast guide.
- In the bottom of the pit—the Chief Cornerstone is our Rock.
When we hurt, we can be sure that the healing love of Jesus Christ will sustain us; He longs to comfort and encourage us with His presence, His promises, His people, and His power.
The God of all comfort will not let us go over the edge or sink beneath the mire. He will come instantly to our aid as we call on His name.
Help Others by Our Experience
As we learn to trust in His promises and experience them He can then use us to personally carry His comfort to the ailing heart of another—transforming our trouble into His healing balm.
Don’t Forget
Remember:
In the heat of the fight, He is our Light.
In the midst of the storm, the Prince of Peace is our guide.
In the bottom of the pit, Our God, the Chief Cornerstone is our rock.
Now then…
Have a Blessed Day!
