Exodus 15:1-27; Psalm 51:1-19; Acts 8:5-40
The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. Isaiah 50:4 NKJV
To someone who is feeling “weak and heavy-laden,” how refreshing it is to have a brother or sister come alongside with just the right word of comfort and encouragement! Where does this come from? The “God of all comfort, who comforts us…that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Cor. 1:3-4). Let us abide in Christ daily, allowing Him to comfort and encourage us, and always be ready to share a word of comfort with those who need it. —Elizabeth C. Bishop
Give as t’was given to you in your need, love as the Master loved you.
Be to the helpless a helper indeed, unto your mission be true. —I. Wilson
