Sandalwood tree

“How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord,Like cedars beside the waters." Numbers 24.5-6

When the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling in the human heart, there is no way for sorrows, disappointments, annoyances and other evils remain. Instead, the person is like sandalwood tree (tree whose wood is fragrant) that the Lord has planted, like cedars beside the waters. That is, they become the perfume of the Lord Jesus Christ.

My Complaint

"Even today my complaint is bitter; My hand is listless because of my groaning."Job 23:2

Many times we just keep our sorrows inside and only the Holy Spirit knows what we're feeling. But He often allows things to happen so we may revolt and use our faith in moments of weaknesses. And as it usually happens, only later do we see how small our problems were before the Almighty Whom we serve.

Ransomed

"And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:10

Yesterday, Saturday, many souls were restored to the Kingdom of the Lord. All the burden of sins were forgiven; the sadness and the sorrow fled. Truly, there was salvation in this house.

Tribulation

"Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help." Psalms 22:11

Prophetic words in relation to the difficult times the Lord Jesus was going to go through. For this reason, He understands the sorrow and the suffering His people goes through, especially in these last days.

God's Joy

"... Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Nehemiah 8:10

Children are either glory or shame of their parents. However, the joy of the parents, just as of God, is the strength of His children.

Answer

"The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow."

Psalms 116.3


The Name of Jesus is an armour against hell. There's nothing that can resist Him and there's no charge in using it. It's needed when you need freedom from afflictions and sorrows.

Man of sorrows

"He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Isaiah 53:3

The Lord Jesus is the Only One that understands us, knows our pain, how much we're despised, and our sorrows.
