After eating a delicious Thanksgiving meal, did you need to relax in the comfort of your easy chair? Webster’s dictionary defines comfort as a state of having relief, cheer, consolation, freedom from pain and suffering. Now that sounds like a state in which we all would like to find ourselves. You may enjoy good music, a great ball game, beautiful sunset, or an intriguing novel to find your comfort zone, but how long does it last? How long does a comforting good hug last? My grandson gives great big memorable hugs, but he is many miles away now and those hugs are few and far between. What a comfort to me that God said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Heb.13:5 Has anyone ever comforted you during a stressful time in your life? May I share my COMFORTER with YOU… during your time of fear…despair…pain…anguish….disappointment….tragedy….Is.40:1 “COMFORT YOU. COMFORT YOU my people, said your GOD” ..Ps.23 “The LORD IS MY SHEPHERD: I SHALL NOT WANT….though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for LORD IS WITH ME, thy rod and thy staff they COMFORT ME.“….Is.49:13″Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD HAS COMFORTED HIS PEOPLE, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.” … The LIVING GOD’S COMFORT IS EVERLASTING .…Is.38:19,20 “The living, the living, he shall praise the Lord, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD IS READY TO SAVE ME”
