This is my Comfort!

We are here today to remember the greatness of our Savior's grace and the comforts of being a true disciple. This will be a means of renewing and strengthening our faith. The Christian who is suffering afflictions should learn by the example of the psalmist in this psalm, to build himself up in his most holy faith. He does this by thinking of the comfort that is brought to him by the things that the Lord has spoken to Him by His Word, and by the things that the Lord has worked into his life, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. How does the Lord comfort his afflicted people by His Word and the grace of Jesus Christ? We will learn from these verses that the Lord comforts this afflicted servant, the psalmist, in accordance with his prayers and the reflections of his heart in the following 4 ways. We will find comfort in our afflictions if we will follow the psalmist's example.
