Where do you turn to when things do not go as you’d like for them to?  When things go wrong, things get frustrating, how do you seek comfort, or whom do you seek comfort from?  Most everything in life will become clear when you realize that there is an omnipotent holy God, who works all things by His will to point us to our greatest need and desire – Himself.  This is the most loving thing He can do for us, because He is the greatest good for us.

This omnipotent loving God, who made the heavens and earth, has shown Himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ, and He wants us to know that He is always with us, and is our great Helper, if we turn to Him.  His help does not always mean comfort, but we can know that His help will always be for our greatest good, and our eternal hope is secure in Him.  The scripture below comes from Isaiah 51:12-14

¹²“I, I am he who comforts you;
who are you that you are afraid of man who dies,
of the son of man who is made like grass,
¹³and have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth,
and you fear continually all the day
because of the wrath of the oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy?
And where is the wrath of the oppressor?
¹⁴ He who is bowed down shall speedily be released;
he shall not die and go down to the pit,
neither shall his bread be lacking.

Grace and Peace,
Adam
