PM Edition for July 16
Tonight’s scripture emphasizes finding comfort in God's merciful dealings with His church. A selfish person, whose comfort comes from within, struggles to find solace in times of trouble. However, a large-hearted person, filled with Christian love, finds comfort in God and in the well-being of others, particularly in the prosperity of the church. David, amidst his sorrow, found solace in the assurance that God would have mercy on Zion and that Zion would prosper, even if his own situation was dire.
Key Points:
- Comfort in God's Mercy: True comfort during trouble comes from reflecting on God’s mercy and favor toward His church.
- Selflessness in Sorrow: While personal sorrow can be overwhelming, focusing on God's work in the church and the triumphs of the cross can lift our spirits.
- Prayers for the Church: In our prayers, extending beyond personal concerns to include the prosperity of the church brings refreshment to our souls.
- Encouragement from Zion: Our own troubles fade when we focus on God's dealings with His church, finding joy in the spread of His truth and the triumphs of His cross.
