Our Scripture reading today is Isaiah 66:13, "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem."
No matter the difficulty you are going through, God is faithful to be the comfort you need.
The Holy Spirit is referred to in the New Testament as the Comforter. John 14:26, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." God's Spirit dwells in all believers and will provide comfort
whenever it is needed.
A quote from Mr. Spurgeon is quite appropriate for the comparison of a mother and
comfort. “This is a peculiarly delightful metaphor. A father can comfort, but I think he is not much at home in the work. When God speaks about his pity, he compares himself to their father: ‘Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth, them that fear him.’ But when he speaks about comfort, he selects the mother. When I have seen the little ones sick, I have felt all the pity in the world for them, but I did not know how to set to work to comfort them; but a mother knows by instinct how to do it.” (Spurgeon)
Call out to God today for whatever comfort you may need!
