Soul Comfort

Psalm 119:81-82
My soul languishes for Your salvation: I wait for Your word.
My eyes fail with longing for Your word;
While I say, “When will You comfort me?” (NASB)

Much like King David, our hearts and souls also long for God to deliver us from this hard and difficult life. We long for that day when all the pain and disappointment will cease; the day when there will be no more death and destruction; the day when we are no longer loaded down with all the doubt and fear that hold us captive to sin and then robs us of the joy that God has for us. And like David, many of us cry out night and day for God to deliver us from our times of darkness, praying for the comfort and the answers that only our Creator can provide.
But unlike David and all of God’s people of the Old Testament times, we have our Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has provided us with the salvation that was promised from the beginning of time (Genesis 3:15). We now have the New Testament in our hands and the entire Bible in words that can be read or listened to by most peoples in our world. And unlike David, we need not look too much further into the future for the return of our Savior, for His return is so much closer now than it was when David wrote this Psalm. We also do not have to rely solely on the words of the prophets any longer, for our Lord has not only come and fulfilled His promise to us (John 3:16), but He has also given us the Holy Spirit to not only prepare our hearts for eternity, but to comfort us with His peace (Romans 8:16) until He returns to take us Home. Although the hour is rapidly approaching, my dear friends, there is still time to prepare our hearts and share the Good News with the hopeless and lost, because the LORD our Savior wants no one left behind.

A Whisper of Hope
Never doubt…My dear one, that your salvation has been accomplished with My blood. The price has been paid in full and one day soon I will share My inheritance with you. When anyone asks you if you are going to heaven, you need not hesitate your answer, because when you believe that I Am the Perfect Sacrificial Lamb who gave His life to save your soul, you can be sure that your salvation has been accomplished once and for all.

Genesis 3:15
“And I will put enmity between your seed
and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.” (NASB)

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (NASB)

Romans 8:16
For His Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us
that we are God’s children. And since we are His children,
we will share His treasures—for everything God gives to His Son, Christ, is ours, too. (NLT)
