“人怎样受他母亲的安慰,我也怎样安慰你们;你们要在耶路撒冷得安慰。””
以赛亚书 66:13
“"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem."”
Isaiah 66:13
Through Isaiah, God told the Israelites, “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you” (Isa. 66:13). God promised to give His children peace and to carry them the way a mother totes a child around on her side. This tender message was for the people who had a reverence for God—those who “tremble at his word” (v. 5).
God’s ability and desire to comfort His people appears again in Paul’s letter to the Corinthian believers. Paul said the Lord is the one “who comforts us in all our troubles” (2 Cor. 1:3-4). God is gentle and sympathetic with us when we are in trouble.
One day all suffering will end. Our tears will dry up permanently, and we will be safe in God’s arms forever (Rev. 21:4). Until then, we can depend on God’s love to support us when we suffer.
Do you believe in His love and His ability to support and comfort you when you suffer?
