1. It is a great comfort have peace of mind. Many people have sought to obtain wealth, hoping it would give peace of mind; but they have been mistaken. But what a comfort it is to those who have obtained it! It flows from the knowledge that our sins are forgiven.

2. Another comfort is that God is with us.

3. What a comfort to know that God is our helper. His fingers are tender, and His heart is loving as that of a gentle mother.

4. It is a comfort to know that God is our strength in time of temptation. When an engine has to lift a weight which is beyond its usual work, the engineer stands at the steam gauge, and when the finger reaches near the danger point, he cries, "Hold hard; it can do no more! " If he allowed the engine to be pressed beyond the safety point, there might be an accident. Likewise, God knows the gauge of every man's heart. He knows exactly what trials you can bear, and how much temptation you can stand. He declares that no man shall be tempted above that he is able.

5. It is our comfort to know that God is our support in the pathway of our life.

6. Here is another comfort — that our God is the Friend of sinners.

(W. Birch.)
