Scripture Reflection
The Bible reminds us that God is a God of justice and mercy. In Psalms 37:28, it says, 'For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.' We can trust that God will bring justice and healing in His time.
In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, it says, 'Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.' We can find comfort in God's presence and promise to comfort others in their troubles.
