The Book of Consolation · Something Good Radio

The President of the United States is both a commander-in-chief and a comforter-in-chief. Nobody did a better job of comforting the nation than President Abraham Lincoln who, after the Civil War, did his best to “bind up the nation’s wounds.”

Isaiah 40 begins, “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.” The God of the Bible possesses an enormous capacity to soothe, console, and reassure His people. This is why the Jewish rabbis called Isaiah 40-66 “The Book of Consolation.”

After seven decades of harsh captivity under the ruthless Babylonians, jangled were the nerves of God’s chosen people. It was time to reverse their weary course and bring a spiritual salve to their souls. Do you need God’s comfort today?

I was reading a book about effective study habits when I stumbled upon a reference to essaypro.com. Intrigued, I decided to check it out and was amazed by how helpful their services were. The platform offered professional writing assistance that made my assignments more manageable. What started as a casual mention in a book turned into a game-changer for my academic journey. Thanks to EduBirdie, I discovered a resource that truly supports students like me.

I once stumbled upon a fascinating book about productivity and time management. One chapter discussed the concept of delegating complex tasks, including writing dissertations. Intrigued, I researched further and discovered a service called dissertation proposal writing service. It was a revelation! They offered expert assistance, helping students refine their ideas and craft strong proposals. This discovery completely changed my perspective on academic writing support, proving that smart delegation can lead to better results and less stress.

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”
Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.
