Comfort of the Scriptures for Thursday, May 5
Today, May 05, 2011, 1 minute ago
"Your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity [love] of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth" (2 Thess. 1:3).
God wants His redeemed ones to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ," and as we learn of Him our faith will be increased. For we "grow in grace" by the Word of God received into our hearts and lives, and we are admonished to "desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby." The faith of the Thessalonians grew exceedingly because, as Paul tells them, "ye received the word of God which ye heard of us ... not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." For "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." There is no growing faith or growth in grace apart from love for and obedience to the Word of God. And many times God permits troubles to come into our lives to test our reliance upon His Word, "that He might humble thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end," and "that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." It is thus that our "faith groweth exceedingly."
We grow as we feed on His Word;
We grow in knowledge of the Lord,
For we find Him there revealed to us,
On the pages of God's holy Word.
2 Peter 3:18; 1 Peter 2:2; 1 Thess. 2:13; Rom. 10:17; Deut. 8:16,3.

Comfort yourselves....
"Monday, March 14 (From BTP)
“Comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (1 Thess. 5:11).
Every true Christian has the potential, and also the responsibility, to “comfort” and to “edify” other Christians, both by word and life. We are told to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” and to “exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others,” “submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another,” “that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.” “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; ... be pitiful, be courteous.” “Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus.”
How can I help my dear brother,
Who is bowed beneath his load?
I can speak a word of comfort,
Instead of a word to goad.
References: Heb. 10:24; 3:13; Phil. 2:3-4; Eph. 5:21; 4:29; Gal. 5:13; 1 Cor. 4:6; 1 Peter 3:8; Rom. 15:5."
