Comfort
Isaiah 40
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(v. 1) "Comfort, comfort my people, says your God." (v. 31) "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
My Thoughts
God is our comforter. When we feel weary or faint, sad or upset, frustrated or disappointed, God is our comforter. He will be there for those whose hope is in Him and we will not grow weary or faint. There isn't anyone who can comfort us like God does, and there certainly isn't any thing that could.
Take for example the loss of a loved one, which, I might add, is never easy. Those whose hope is in God often move past it sooner than those who don't. We never forget our loved ones, but we remember that we will see them again one day in heaven. I hate using the term 'get over' it because it sounds horrible and that is not at all what needs to be done.
You never 'get over' the loss of a loved one. What does happen and what we do need to do in this type of situation is 'move past' it. To move past it means to move on with acceptance of it, but not forget. When you go through a loss of a loved one, it is going to be hard, no matter what. But it does become easier once you're able to move past it. For those whose hope is in God, we know we will see them again if they too hope in the Lord.
A lot of times, those who do not hope in the Lord, they become stuck in a situation such as this. They are stuck because they don't have certainty that they will see them again. It often causes a large amount of stress and they dwell on it for a long period of time. They don't have any comfort in knowing their loved ones will be seen again one day.
No amount of money or possessions or love or anything else could ever replace a significant loss. I turn to God for comfort when I need it because God is the only one who can fill any empty space in my life. If you have an empty space in your life and you are trying everything to fill the void, you will not be satisfied unless you ask Jesus to fill that void. If that is what you need and you know this and you are ready to ask Jesus into your heart, you can do so right now. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness of your sins, thank God for His Son and ask Jesus to come into you heart. Then, receive Him and pray often and read His word the Bible.
