Trials and Pain: He Knows For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.—Hebrews 4:15-16 Dont pity yourself. Dont be afraid to tell God your troubles. He knows all about your troubles. There is a little song that says, Nobody knows the trouble Ive seen, but theres Somebody who knows, all right. And our Fellow Sufferer still retains a fellow feeling for our pains and still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies and cries, though hes now at the right hand of the Father Almighty, sitting crowned in glory, awaiting, of course, that great coronation day that yet is to come. But though He is there and though they cry all around Him, Worthy is the Lamb (Revelation 5:12), He hasnt forgotten us, and He hasnt forgotten the nails in His hands, the tears, the agonies and cries. He knows everything about you. He knows! He knows when the doctor hates to tell you whats wrong with you and your friends come and try to be unnaturally encouraging. He knows! With boldness, therefore, at the throne Let us make all our sorrows known And ask the aid of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour. The Attributes of God, pp. 94-95 Thank You, Lord, for this encouragement. Its so hard to suffer alone, and in ministry it often seems we have no one with whom we can openly share. Thank You that You know and understand. Amen. From Tozer on Christian Leadership by A.W. Tozer
