Exodus 12:21-51; Psalm 45:1-46:11; Acts 6:1-15
Behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter. Ecclesiastes 4:1b
What a sad observation Solomon makes of those who were oppressed. He observes their tears and the fact that they had no comforter. Praise God we are not left in this sad condition today. Yes, there are tears, but Jesus promised His disciples to send the Comforter, who would not leave them comfortless (John 14:16, 18). As children of God, we too are beneficiaries of this promise. We can rest assured that our tears are never overlooked by the One who is touched with our sorrows, and He always draws near to comfort us in our time of need. —E. V.
I must have the Saviour with me, for my faith at best is weak;
He can whisper words of comfort, that no other voice can speak. —Lizzie Edwards
