The word “Comforter” as applied to the Holy Spirit needs to be translated by some vigorous term. Literally, it means “with strength.” Jesus promised His followers that “The Strengthener” would be with them forever. This promise is no lullaby for the faint-hearted. It is a blood transfusion for courageous living.

E. Paul Hovey

“He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.”

1 Samuel 2:9
The New Living Translation

We do not hug our miracles close. We put them hastily away, preferring the commonplace to live with.

I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

Ephesians 3:12
The New Living Translation

We are all pencils in the hand of a writing God, who is sending love letters to the world.

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

We hurt people by being too busy. Too busy to notice their needs. Too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. Too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. Too busy to care.

It is not a difficult matter to learn what it means to delight ourselves in the Lord. It is to live so as to please Him, to honor everything we find in His Word, to do everything the way He would like to have it done, and for Him.

S. Maxwell Coder

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

God is in control. He is never surprised by events that surprise us. Neither is He worried over world conditions. We rest in Him who is Lord of all. His grace, mercy, and loving-kindness overwhelm us.

Leslie B. Flynn

Religion holds the solution to all problems of human relationship, whether they are between parents and children or nation and nation. Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:30-31
The New King James Version

Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.

You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.
