When
I called, you answered me;
you
made me bold and stouthearted.
Psalm 138:3 NIV
In recent days, I have found my evening
comfort wrapped in a warm blanket given to me by a precious friend. It is light
weight, soft and quickly warms me on these cold winter nights.
God’s divine comfort is much like that
blanket. He wraps it around me in the midst of heartache and trials, a busy day
or an exhausting schedule. When life throws adversity my way, divine comfort comes
as I remember that God works out His plans for my life and will bring me
through the difficulties I face.
I am encouraged when I remember in the
midst of a broken heart or wounded spirit God’s divine comfort heals our
brokenness and binds our wounds. The LORD
is good. He is our refuge in time of trouble as He cares for those who trust in
Him.
(Nahum 1:7 NIV) When we mourn, He is our comfort. When we are weary and
burdened, He is our rest. When we are faint of heart, He is our courage. When
we do not know what to do or which way to turn, He is our Counselor.
When turmoil rushes in to ruin our day, He
is our peace. When we are weak, He is strong. When we make mistakes, He is our
sufficient grace. When we need energy to take the next step, He is our strength
to put one foot in front of the other. When we think we cannot accomplish the
task He places before us, He is our power to achieve.
God is Truth so He cannot lie. Therefore,
we are secure in His promises—anchored in God through Jesus Christ. And,
because He cares for us, we can cast all our care on Him. (1 Peter 5:7 NIV)
Remembering the bountiful, generous,
plentiful, abundant, lavish, luxurious grace of the LORD
God Jehovah brings divine comfort. Today, as you face the struggles the world
will throw your way, I pray you take the time to stop and feel the soft warm
comfort of our Holy God lovingly wrapped around you.
