“O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee…, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land … To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the Sanctuary. Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.” ─ Psalm 63:1-3
In these trying times it is good to know that we have a God of all Comfort. He has prepared comfort for His people. He has sent His Son Jesus to prepare an Eternal Home for us when we commit ourselves to Him. And the Holy Spirit has come to reinforce God’s Comfort to us. It is in the Sanctuary of God where we sense His presence. His Sanctuary may be the House of God, it may be in a quiet spot somewhere a lone that we meet with Him. Most importantly we must have a daily time to communicate with our Lord and Saviour. We must establish these moments and dedicate ourselves to talking with Him. In His presence the things of this world are shut out and we can focus on the power of His Word, and the comfort that is granted as we place our difficulties in His hands. David the Psalmist writes about these times when his hear longs for the Sanctuary of God, not just to go into the temple, but to feel God’s presence and comfort in his trials. We are buffeted on every side, but we are not alone for the God of all Comfort is our portion. Paul who has suffered much for the Kingdom of God writes these powerful Words to the Church at Corinth: “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies, and the God of all Comfort;” − 2 Cor. 1:3. Let us be “Comforted” by the Word of God that reminds us: “He will turn our mourning into Joy” – “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you!” Loving you & praying for you, Pastor
