I am he who comforts you

Isaiah 51:12-23
“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grassthat you forget the Lord your Makerwho stretches out the heavens and who lays the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction?
Awake, awake! Rise up, Jerusalemyou who have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrathyou who have drained to its dregs the goblet that makes people stagger.
This is what your Sovereign Lord says, your God, who defends his people:“See, I have taken out of your hand the cup that made you stagger; from that cup, the goblet of my wrath, you will never drink again. I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,  who said to you, ‘Fall prostrate that we may walk on you.’ And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked on.”
The terrible time of suffering is past.
Why?
God gave Israel good news that the terrible time is over. The wrath of God's cup will be past away.
Why they suffered such disaster is because of their sins and make God wrath. But God is full of mercy and love, God promise that they never drink again this wrath cup.
All human beings who are but grass, remember the Lord my maker, who created the heaven and earth. My life is depends on the Lord.
God is my comforter, my strength, listen to his word and follow his way.
How?
Remember God who is my Lord, Maker of me!
