None of us can blame Terah for his grieving, but he obviously chose not to seek the God of Abram for his comfort (see Joshua 24:2).<br /><br />We are in such a wonderful position to derive our source of strength and comfort from the True and Living God when we go through life's pressures, no matter how much "weight" they produce upon us! Isaiah says that our Lord Jesus "...carried our griefs and pains..." Just exactly what this looks like in each of our lives is determined by the uniqueness of our circumstances. But the promise of only experiencing "pre-borne" or "pre-carried" griefs in our life can be of great comfort in the heat of the pain.<br /><br />StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
