Is the comfort God gives you not enough for you, even when words are spoken gently to you?
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up to Micaiah and slapped him in the face. Zedekiah said, “Has the Lord’s spirit left me to speak through you?”
What you know, I also know. You are not better than I am.
You did not listen in on God’s secret council. But you limit wisdom to yourself.
I have never left the commands he has spoken; I have treasured his words more than my own.
But God saves those who suffer through their suffering; he gets them to listen through their pain.
“God is gently calling you from the jaws of trouble to an open place of freedom where he has set your table full of the best food.
Then I would have this comfort and be glad even in this unending pain, because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.
When I remember God, I become upset; when I think, I become afraid.Selah
But God, who comforts those who are troubled, comforted us when Titus came.
