HE
WILL COMFORT YOU Saturday January

Isaiah 51:1 – 3 Memory verse: v 3
It is good for those privileged to be
born again, to consider that they were shaped in sin. This should cause us to
have low thoughts of ourselves, and high thoughts of divine grace we have
received by our new birth. Our text is a call to a steadfast faith in the Lord.
If we consider our present state, we will be discouraged. For this reason, God
speaking through the prophet called on us to consider where and how we started.
He also challenged us to look at the life of Abraham our father of faith and
his wife Sarah how He increased them. He thus assured His people of His comfort
in their troubled state with promise of restoration (Isaiah 51:3).
Beloved, God is a covenant keeping God.
He that called us is faithful (Deuteronomy 7:9; Nehemiah 9:32). He called us for a purpose
which amongst them is to increase us and comfort us. In this world, we are
faced with so many challenges of life like sickness (some protracted), diverse
wants, spiritual battles, etc. All these are what we face because we are still
in the world. However, there is a place God has prepared for us that is void of
all these challenges. In the interim however, He has assured us of His comfort
(Psalm 102:13; Isaiah 40:1; 51:12; 52:9–10). What are your lacking now that
everything seems to be like desert to you? He will make all to flourish again
like the Garden of Eden; be it your health, finances, marriage, studies, etc.
Hold on to Him.

for Thought:
When God says something, He performs it.
Prayer: Lord, send your comfort to me in my troubled situations
