If one is trapped inside an elevator in a burning building, an outside fireman who can force the door open is preferable to a fellow victim who is also trapped but understands the problem.
~ Michael C. Horton, A Place for Weakness
You want a God who understands you, right?
Who feels your pain.
Who can sympathize in your struggles.
You have that (Hebrews 4:15).
But it’s not enough.
You also want a God who can save you.
You have that too.
The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
Give thanks!

Have you taken time today to praise him for who he is and what he’s done?

This is so right on Lisa. Want that kind of a God in my corner & glad He is all that & more.
I am thankful for this reminder Lisa!
He has saved me from myself more times than I can count. I and my sin are often my own worst enemy.
Hallelujah! Praise God that Christ was not just a man who could sympathize with us, but the God who could also save us (and has)!
I'm so thank-ful that the Lord is everything I need him to be and then some. Thank-you for this post today.
Blessings,
