Th* Fatlwiit tells us that God will
comfort us on every side. And what
asi All Embracing bit of Comfort
this is. “On every side,” nc aching
Rpot to be left uncourferted. And yet
in times of especial trial, bow many
Christiana secretly read this as
though It said “God will comfort uc
on every side except just the aide
tilers »s no comfort any where,” but
where our trials lie. On that sid
God rays ,every side, and it la only
unbelief on our pert, that Haves us
to make an exception of our special
side.
It is with too many alas just as it
was with Israel of old. On one side
God said to Zion, “Sing O heaven ■;
and bp joyful O earth, and break
forth into singing O mountains: for
ihe Lord hath comforted His people,
and will have merry upon His af.
Dieted” and en the other side Zio.i
■said “The Lord hath forsaken me
and my Lord hath forgotten me."
And then God's answer came in those
wonderful words full forever of com
fort. enough to meet the noed? of ad
the sorrows cf all humanity. “For
est thee; can a mother forget? Yea,
perhaps a mother may forget, but I
cannot. I have even graven thee
upon the palms of my hands, so tbat
it is impossible for me to forget
thee. Be comforted, then.
But you may ask how you are to
get hold of this Divine Comfort. My
answer is that you must take it.
God’s comfort is being continually
and abundantly given, but unless you
will accept it ,you cannot have it.
Divine Comfort does not come t'
us >n any mysterious or arbitrary
way. It comes as the result of a
Divine Method. The Indwelling Com
forter brings to our remembrance
comforting things concerning our
Lord and if we believe them we are
comforted by them. Often is brought
to our remembrance perhaps a verse
of a Hymn or some thought concern
ing the Love of Christ anti His
Tender Care for us. If we receive the
suggestion in simple faith we cannot
help being comforted. Gut if we re
fuse to listen to the Voice of cur
Comforter and insist instead on list
ening to the voice of discouragement
or despair, no comfort can by any
possibility reach our souls.
In this matter of Comfort, it is
exactly as it is in every ether exper
ience in the religious life. God says
BELIEVE and then you can feel.
We pay FEEL, and then we can be
lieve. God’s order is not arbitrary.
It exists in the very nature of
things, and in all earthly matters we
recognize this and are never so fool
ish as to expect to feel we have any
thing, until we first believe that it
is in cur possession. I could not pos
sibly feel glad thai I had a fortune
in the bank, uitfcss 1 knew that it
was really there. But in spiritual
mtlsc God’s order (which
i the order of Nature aswelt)-4* -d
jefuse to believe that, we possess any
thing until we first feel a* if we
It is pure and simple unbelief that
is at the bottom of all our lack of
Comfort. And absolutely nothing
ehe. God comforts us on every side,
but we simply do not believe His
words of Comfort.
