Text: Isaiah 43:20-21 (KJV)
20The beast
of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters
in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my
chosen. 21This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew
forth my praise.
If I asked every one of us individually, do you think life is hard? I
know there will be diversities of answers.
We are not here to condemn our responses, but instead to make us
understand that life has been made originally for our comfort. We often focus
on “why then am I facing these challenges or when will it stop?”, but we need
to shift our minds by focusing to the things God has given us even in the midst
of that challenge. God has endowed us with so many things, but we need to look
properly with the help of the Holy Spirit to see those areas that has been fixed.
The Word of God is filled with a lot of God’s promises to His children, and it
is our responsibility to recognize and give praise to Him for them. The truth
is it is by grace that we have been chosen, and this grace comes with comfort.
God is so powerful that even the animals of our field honour Him, and that is
because He gave water to the wilderness, rivers in the desert, plenty in the
exile city, and amazingly, all of these things and many more are done for us
because He wants us to live a joyful and comfortable life. Joel 2:26- And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and
praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
God’s ultimate
desire for every creature is to live comfortably and to serve Him, and since we
are God’s special breed, we are meant to experience comfort. Genesis 2:15 - And the LORD God took the man, and put him
into the Garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it. Although, man fell
out of this comfort zone, Eden, it is not over, we can still experience it
today. This is possible by seeking for a deeper understanding and searching for
His promises. Therefore, do not forget
the help of the Holy Spirit as to enjoy all round comfort. We just need to be
obedient to His instructions, and I tell you, by doing all these things, we
will experience a lifestyle filled with joy and comfort. I pray God will help
us, in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Oh God, please
help me to live with this conscience that Christ has purposed comfort for us in
Jesus name.
2. Father, please
lead me into my prepared pasture that will be evergreen as I keep thanking God
in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Do not feel the heat
of stress instead see it with the eyes of comfort?
