The Amazing Comforter

Recently there was a report regarding a baby named Zion Isaiah. Zion was a little tiny baby who brought great happiness for his parents in 10 days.He was born with a genetic abnormality called 'Edwards Syndrome' - a trisomy in Chromosome 18 (chromosome 18 was repeated thrice rather than twice( the normal condition))

For the news-Zion Isaiah-report

He lived for 10 days and went back to God.When i scrolled through the pictures of Zion, a pain struck my mind asking 'why did this happen? , why did such a tiny baby suffer this condition? He came to earth just for 10 days. He didn't even knew the world nor did he opened his eyes for its fancies. '  Eventhough he was too tiny, he must have suffered a lot from the abnormal conditions inside his body. The difficulty in breathing, the pain in stomach and liver.. Was he able to tolerate the pain? Was it possible for anyone to comfort him when he even did know what comfort is?

Zion slept serenely. The pictures revealed to me an eternal peace encircling him.I cannot guess the state of Zion in these 10 days, but i felt a peace in his face. As thoughts brooded over my mind God sent his voice ....

" For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? "            - Isaiah 51:3-9

The Lord shall comfort Zion...his salvation and righteousness shall remain forever. This comfort is the real one. No humans, nothing in the world was able to comfort Zion but God could..it was this peace that was shining on Zions face...The baby who lived just for 10 days is far enough for God to show His love for him and for the world. 

Zion was sleeping but he is awake for the lord..Awake and put on strength ..o arm of the Lord..Yes His arm is the perfect eternal strength for all...He is the amazing comforter.

Prayer

Let us remember Zion. Lord we know that neither the length of our life nor the days that we spent in this world are important for you, but it is our submission to you that matters. Like Zion, teach us to find comfort in You and put on strength from You rather than depending on the world because Your voice says 'for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.' Lead us in your salvation and make us righteous like You wish.
Amen.
