Finding Comfort



You go to work one morning just as you have been doing for years giving it all to your company. You walk in and are informed that you are no longer needed. You see people who are deathly ill with no hope of recovery and there families deeply suffer in Faith and finances. We witness hunger and poverty all over the world and yet we are blind to what happens in our own backyard. All we can see is a long black tunnel that seems to have no end. There is no light only darkness. Where do we find comfort in these trying and struggling times? Is there a place and an answer ? Yes there is without a doubt!!!!!!! The book of Isaiah 40 is full of words of comfort.
When asked the question; Where is God ? What would your first answer be ? For most people it would be in Heaven. Which is true, but God is more than just in Heaven. He lives in all of our hearts. Have you ever told God about something that you held in your heart that he didn’t already know ? No, you have not ! Our minds cannot comprehend the awesome power of God, he is knowledge and he knows it all. Sometimes it is the great storms in our lives that build our Faith in him. [ Isaiah 40;8, The grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of God stands forever.] Always remember that God is always there, all you have to do is call out. Put all of your problems in the hand of the Lord, he can handle things much better that we can. This is something I do every single morning, down on my knees thanking God for everything in my life. Praising him for the coming day and putting everything that happens in the course of that day in his hands.[ Isaiah 40;12, Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand , or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighted the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance.]
So many people worship false idols in life. Gold, money, possessions of all kinds are far more important to some people than a relationship with the Lord. Yet there lives are in turmoil and they cannot understand why. A storm in our life can destroy us or build us. God works in our lives every second of the day, the trouble is many souls have on blinders. They continue complain about how bad things are instead of letting God handle things. The Lord never gives up.[ Isaiah 40;28, Do you not know ? Have you not heard ? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.] God will never be late or check on how much we owe, he will always be there. Have you ever closely watched as an eagle soars and can see for miles. They have there eyes focused on what they want and they get it.[ Isaiah 40;31, But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.] Our we focused and do we have our eyes and heart set on what we want ?
Anytime in life that you think you are really somebody and you think you can do it all without him, think of this!!!!! [ Isaiah 40;25,26. To whom will you compare me, or who is my equal, says the Holy one. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all of this? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.] Walk outside tonight and gaze at the heavens and know what our God has done. Do you still think that you can do it without him in your life ? I need God and I need prayer, and if you are honest, so do you!!!!!
