Our God of Comfort: Charles Stanley

Insights

The Comfort and Guidance of God

πŸ˜‡ Jesus promised to send us a helper, a comforter, who will walk beside us and stand beside us in every circumstance of life.

πŸ“– The Bible is God’s road map for life, containing no wrong turns or mistakes.

πŸ‘‘ God’s sovereignty means that He has the power to fix, change, heal, and uplift us, no matter what challenges we face.

πŸ™ When we come to God, we can find comfort in knowing that He understands our hurts and knows why we hurt.

πŸ’” Turning away from Almighty God is the biggest mistake in life, as He is the One who knows and provides for all our needs, far more than we deserve.

The Incomparable Greatness of God

πŸ“š All the wisdom and knowledge of man cannot compare to the infinite mind of God revealed in the Bible.

🌍 God’s knowledge is limitless and surpasses human comprehension, making Him the ultimate source of comfort and guidance.

🀯 Our minds cannot comprehend the awesomeness, greatness, power, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and love that God has for us.

πŸ’” “All the nations are as nothing before Him, they are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.”

πŸ™Œ God cannot be compared to any likeness or idol, as He is incomparable and unmatched in His greatness.

God’s Sovereignty and Knowledge

πŸ•ŠοΈ “The Word of God is the eternal Word of God…there’s no time in the past when He was not. There will be no time in the future when He is not.”

🌍 Isaiah describes God as sovereign, in control of all things at all times and circumstances, challenging our limited understanding of why certain things happen.

🌊 God’s power and knowledge are limitless, as He has measured the waters, marked off the heavens, calculated the dust of the earth, and weighed the mountains.

🌌 “How do you measure the heavens?…It’s all within His grasp because He is above and beyond it all.” – God’s knowledge and understanding surpass human limitations.
