You Can Be Content In This Painful World
Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. - Hebrews 8:1-2
What a blessing we have with prayer!
“O how much of this sort of consolation has many a Christian learnt and tasted, by a holy intercourse with heaven, in such painful seasons. How much has he learnt of the tender mercies of God the Father, and of the pity and sympathy of our great High Priest above ! Who would be content to live in such a painful world as this is, without the pleasure and relief of prayer ! Who would live without an inter est at this mercy-seat, and without the supporting friendship of this Advocate at the throne !” The World To Come - Isaac Watts
