The David Spoon Experience 12-8-22 Part 1
A) Blessed be God: That’s right, start the process at the height of wisdom. For all the things God has done, let’s say “blessed,” which means to praise Him or honor His name. The Hebrew word translated as “bless” in the Old Testament literally means to kneel, indicating the idea of honoring the Lord. We do not add anything to Him when we bless Him, yet we worship Him as our appropriate response to His greatness and His love for us. B) The Father of compassion. But Dave, wasn’t God different in the Old Testament? Only if you haven’t read it. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The difference is that because of Jesus, God lives inside of us, so the nature of the relationship is BETTER. For references, please read Hebrews. C) Who comforts us in ALL of our troubles. No, no…that’s just for the heavy-duty dramatic stuff. Psalm 56:8 states Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book (KJV)? Every tear, every moment, every pain is in His observations. He has missed nothing of any of our sorrows. D) Our comfort from Him, is for the comfort of others. Such is the circle of life.
