Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed…I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Isaiah 41:10 and Jeremiah 30: 17
There is comfort in the word of God. There is comfort for all reasons and all our needs. Jehovah- Rapha – declares healing is the will of God.
Jesus said, I have glorified thee (God the father) on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gave me to do. John 17 verse 4
He came to seek and to save the lost by drawing all to himself, for in him is life. He glorified the Father in every step of his journey on earth, even to the cross where God’s righteous demands were met and completed.
The blood of Jesus makes atonement for sin (to make things right before God) Without shedding blood, there could be no reconciliation with God. Being washed in the precious blood of Jesus, we can approach the throne of grace in boldness because Jesus’ blood covers us. God is holy, and in His presence we are seen in Christ Jesus. God sees this coverage and passes over in judgment. There is no other access to God except through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. It is a privilege that allows us to come into His holy presence through the largeness of His grace.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2 verse 5
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2 verse 13.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carries into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2
We are not alone in our circumstances. And although some problems are insurmountable, God is there. There is nothing too hard for Him, nothing impossible for our God. He created the world by calling the things that were not into being. This same mighty God hears every cry, every wayward thought, and still knows our needs. He is not slack, nor is His arm too short that He could not save.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
Yet To Be
In the weakest of moments I look away, down instead of up, and see nothing. If there is a tiny speck of light, I don’t see it because I look at my circumstances and their harsh limitations. How cruel to be born, grow, gain, lose, and then die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. How evil it is to despair. So easy it is to sink into the dark corners of the mind, to give into a depression where the soul is robbed of faith, and the heart becomes too afraid to believe. It is a vengeful spirit that must not exist. It is a evil that must never win. The battle belongs to God. He fights for us and will never fail. Within the presence of God, there is peace, rest, joy, and love: A love which dispels all fears. A love which brightens even the darkest nights with strength and with hope.
There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. Luke 15 verse 7
There is a light that shines in the dark caverns of the mind. Though small, even distant it is there; look for it. Look up, and you will see it. Jesus is that light. If you seek him, you will find him. He will become your strength, shield, and reward. “He is the light that shines in the darkest night; The Light that turns the wrong to right.” He is that light.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” John 8 verse 12
God loved me. He gave the One who was most precious to Him, His only son. And the Son came willingly to do His Father’s will by taking my place in judgment in exchange for my freedom. Who am I that God, the Creator, the Most Holy God, should think about me? I can’t say what He saw in me that his only son should die for me. I bow my head and my heart before my God. I praise the Father and the Son. I fall on my knees in joyful Hallelujah. He saw me. He sees me. He knows me.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. Psalm 113 verse 3
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name forever and ever. Psalm 145 verse 1.
