Strength & Support
Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees. Job 4:4
The local newspaper reported that a mother is
devastated because her 21-year-old son, who had always seemed like an upright young man, had been arrested for dealing drugs.
Also in our community, the parents and siblings of a 15-year-old are grieving because he was killed in a gun accident.
An aged friend is heartbroken because her only daughter, the person she depended on more than all others, died from cancer.
People who are hurting have a common need: the comfort that comes from trusting God. They need to be assured that tragedy and grief are not a mark of Gods disfavor but that He weeps with them, He loves them, and He will never leave those who are His.
Eliphaz said to Job: Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened feeble knees (Job 4:4). Job earned this tribute despite his own deep suffering. And when we offer comfort to sorrowing and suffering people, we not only emulate Jobwe emulate Jesus.
In the midst of a host of hurting people, each one of us can reach out to become a comforter like Job. Lets ask God to make our hearts tender enough to support and strengthen those who are hurting. Herbert Vander Lugt
Reach out and give your love to the loveless,
Reach out and make a home for the homeless;
Reach out and shed Gods light in the darkness
Reach out and let the smile of God touch through you. Brown
Reach out and make a home for the homeless;
Reach out and shed Gods light in the darkness
Reach out and let the smile of God touch through you. Brown
God doesnt comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.
