Psalm 138:3 (NIV)
3 When I called, you answered me; you greatly
emboldened me.
At some time in life all of us feel the loneliness of
sorrow. Mary and Martha were saddened by the death of their brother, Lazarus,
and Martha said to Jesus, “If you had been here, my brother would not have
died.” Theirs was a loneliness of sorrow. The shortest verse in the Bible tells
us that at the tomb of Lazarus “Jesus wept.” He enters into our sorrows.
When we come to Jesus Christ, He does not promise to exempt
us from trouble or sorrow. Tears will come, but deep inside there will be a joy
that is difficult to explain to you. It is a joy from God—produced by the Holy
Spirit. In the midst of trials and agony and tears which come to us all, a
supernatural power is given out, producing joy.
Thought for today:
Do I allow God to comfort me?
