Comfort for the Troubled Soul

How great the comfort for God’s people as we behold, trust, rejoice in, submit to, and proclaim the unsearchable greatness of our great God (Ps. 145:3), and His unsearchable riches in Jesus Christ (Eph. 3:8)!!  Consider Job’s God-magnifying declaration, even in the anguish of his troubled soul:

 

He stretches out the north over the void

and hangs the earth on nothing.

He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,

and the cloud is not split open under them.

He covers the face of the full moon

and spreads over it his cloud.

He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters

at the boundary between light and darkness.

The pillars of heaven tremble

and are astounded at his rebuke.

By his power he stilled the sea;

by his understanding he shattered Rahab.

By his wind the heavens were made fair;

his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways,

and how small a whisper do we hear of him!

But the thunder of his power who can understand?”  (Job 26:7-14)

 

Oh beloved, may your soul be strengthened and revived by faith in all that God is, and all He has given you in Jesus Christ!  His grace is always sufficient for all His will ordains for you – 2 Cor. 12:7-10.

 

Praying for you, with love and gratitude,
