There are times when we pass through the darkest of valleys. Darkness doesn’t allow to see the path. There is none to speak to. We simply don’t know what to do, and how to go about. Yes, though not often, but each of us will go through such dark times. It is certainly not very comforting, and not easy at all.
Before we lose hope, and begin to despair, let us read what the LORD God Almighty says in His Word, from Psalm 94:17-19 – “17 UNLESS the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.*
18 If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, WILL hold me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts DELIGHT my soul.
Verse 19 is so comforting! It speaks to everyone who is going through the dark times of agony and pain. How wonderful it is to know, that the LORD knows it all…that He is concerned about us…that He indeed cares for us…and He is willing to comfort us. Oh the joy of the LORD God Almighty comforting us!!!
May the God of all comfort be with us this LORD’s Day, and help us in all our struggles.
"Great comforts do, indeed, bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree of it; the weak child is oftener in the lap than the strong one."
