I KNOW THEIR SORROWS.

 

July 5

 

Exodus 3:7  

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the 

affliction of my people which are in Egypt, 

and have heard their cry by reason of their 

taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 

 
The Lord is acquainted with all the sorrows of His people; they do not suffer unnoticed; He sympathizes with them, and will sanctify sorrow to them.
 
Israel suffered, but Jesus sympathised.
 
“In all their afflictions He was afflicted; and the angel of His presence saved them; His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”
 
Beloved, He knows our sorrows, and He will be our Comforter.
 
Let us lay them before Him; let us plead with Him; He will be very gracious to us at the voice of our cry; when He heareth He will answer.
 
He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities.
 
He once suffered; He was “THE MAN OF SORROWS;” and He is able to succour us who now suffer.
 
His sorrow are ended, and so will ours soon; weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
 
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
 
We shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighting shall flee away.
 
We shall enter into His joy, be filled with His love, and so be for ever with Him.
 
O Jesus; suffer me not to dwell on my sorrows, but by Thy Spirit direct my heart into Thy love!
 
 

Away with our sorrows and fear,

We soon shall recover our home;

The city of saints shall appear,

The day of eternity come.
