Question: How does God feel about our suffering?
Scripture: Isa 63:9
Link: What will God do to end our suffering?
Hi Dario
Ah! Good morning. How is everything all right?
Yes, thank you and you?
All right, thank you.
The last time we left with the question, what God feels when we suffer. Notice the comforting response of the Bible, found in Isaiah 63:9. This verse describes what God felt and did, when in the biblical times the Israelites were suffering. Would you like to read it aloud?
All right. “During all their suffering, you suffer too. There he saved his own personal messenger. In his love he is in his compassion He redeems them, and I lift them up and carry them for all the ancient days “.
Thanks Dario. According to this verse, what does God feel when he saw that his people suffered? Did you notice, what does the first part of the verse say?
He says he also suffers.
Exact. So God understood them very well. He felt sorry and suffered too. But God did not just suffer with them, his love pushed him to do something. The verse explains it, did you notice what it is?
Here he says he saved them.
That’s right. At the right time, God did something to eliminate their suffering, and at the same time comfort them so that they could endure them. God does the same today. I remember the other time, he told me how much his family suffered.
Yes indeed, we have spent some really terrible moments.
You see Dario, this verse also concerns you. When she suffers, God suffers with her, and if she allows it, God will give her comfort and help.
Look, I would really like to believe it. It’s just that so difficult.
Sure, he’s right, but through the Bible, God makes her understand that she’s really interested in her. He, for example, has promised that he will soon eliminate suffering. If you like it, we’ll talk about it next time we visit you.
