“For whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
A man from Ethiopia was riding in his chariot and reading from the fifty-third chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Another man, Philip, was directed by the Holy Spirit to go to the Ethiopian. As a result of the man’s reading that ancient prophecy and Philip’s explanation of what it said, the Ethiopian was saved. He was given hope through the Word of God.
An elderly lady was at the funeral of her husband of sixty-five years. Her pastor used as his text for the message the Twenty-Third Psalm. When the pastor read, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me…” she was comforted and received hope as thousands before her have experienced.
Expose yourself to the Word of God for patience, comfort, hope, instruction, admonition, exhortation, direction and joy.
