Betrayed.

My wife and I were watching on the news the other night about a husband who murdered his wife… talk about the ultimate betrayal. Even though he spent 3 days cleaning all the blood up on the inside of the house with bleach - they still found enough DNA evidence in the house to convict him….

I leaned over to my wife and said… your safe from me ever killing you… I would never in my right mind that would cause me to have to clean the house for 3 days…

-BETRAYED God told Abraham to leave his own country and come to the land of Canaan. As Stephen recounted in his speech to the Sanhedrin, "He [God] gave him [Abraham] no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground" (Acts 7:5). Abraham must have felt betrayed. And again, when God told him to sacrifice his son Isaac, he must have felt betrayed. When Joseph refused to sleep with Potiphar's wife but was accused of trying to rape her and then slammed into prison-he must have felt betrayed by God. He did the right thing and was punished. When Moses left Pharaoh's palace but was rejected by his fellow Hebrews, he must have felt betrayed. This list goes on and on, and yet the ultimate sense of betrayal rests with our Lord when He cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46); He must have felt betrayed. 

 

But a line was drawn in the sand when Jesus rose from the dead… 

Now he can give us his spirit, the comforter, the Holy Spirit- so that we may never feel betrayed again, never feel left out or cut off or forgotten. 

 

Heb. 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;

    never will I forsake you.”

 

We have identified as men that our biggest battle in todays world is loneliness. But God has broken that barrier with his spirit living inside us. 

 

Do we need other men in our lives? Yes of course….

 

but there will be times when we don’t have them in our life… and the Holy Spirit is more than enough. 

 

Why do they call him the comforter? Because he comforts in the time of struggle, loneliness, pain, betrayal. 

 

If you are ever feeling isolated, resist the urge to accept that and rather confess and believe that the comforter is inside you. If you can win that battle in your head, you can get through anything. One of satans biggest lies is that you are betrayed by God, he does not care, he is not watching over you… he’s holding out on you.

 

That is the first lie in the garden of eden.
