What a Blessing!
Many will say: “Hang around long enough and history will repeat itself.”
Bible scholars proclaim: “Scripture teaches us over and over again the same truths proving Scripture is repetitive of the truths God would have us know.”
- Could it be that quite possibly we (the human race) are just people doomed to walk the same path, one our ancestors walked in the past. &
- Could it also be that quite possibly we (the ones God created) are just people who forget past teachings and must be re-taught & re-taught & . . . ?
Today, during my time studying God’s Word, I found myself being reminded of a PROMISE of GOD, one that our Father has shown us over and over throughout His Word. Nonetheless, in the next few lines, it will be good for us to be reminded of one of God’s Beautiful Promises.
- Did we catch the Promise of God the servant Paul recorded in his letter to the saints who were suffering in the city Corinth?
- Did we see how we are able to help others who are suffering ONLY BECAUSE we have been helped during our own suffering?
- Did we notice within God’s Word how COMFORT Truly Is Reciprocal? !
Mind-blowing—Right? !!!
What a Beautiful Blessing God Promises Us!
“if we are afflicted,
it is for your comfort and salvation; . . .”
&
“if we are comforted,
it is for your comfort, . . .”
God does not allow us to walk through sufferings alone; no, Jesus is always with us!
&
God always uses our sufferings to teach us more about His Goodness!
& our Father does this on purpose because
God wants us to minister to others (today & in the future), to comfort them—Just as He comforted us in our sufferings (those sufferings that occurred in our past).
To help us see how God has NEVER changed since the foundation of time, it is important for us to read what the psalmist recorded within the Old Testament. In reading about the past blessings of the LORD, then we are able to correlate the LORD’S blessings found within the New Testament.
- As we do, we will see history will repeat itself.
- As we do, we also see how Scripture teaches us the same truths throughout God’s Word, proving Scripture is repetitive of the truths God would have us know.
Therefore, if we are slow learners and miss God’s teachings early in our lives, may we not miss them when they come around again to us in our later years. Thank You, God, for sharing Your wisdom with us—again & again & again & again & . . .
What a Blessing!
