Your Comfort

Well, here I am. I am sorry about not posting yesterday but I went on a retreat of sorts. I felt like Moses and the burning bush, Joshua being called to take the city and Isaiah saying "Here am I send me" all at once.

It is difficult to post from iPad because I have a system and when that system is disturbed, I have difficulty managing posts.  I think there's a word for that.....

At any rate, the full story of this trip will be posted at a later date but for now, I want to say this: Today, on our way home, we made a stop at a restaurant. As we were pulling out, I saw a plumbing truck. Being completely satisfied at just being in God's presence, I misread their slogan.

Their slogan was "Our goal is your comfort." I read "Our God is your comfort." You see, there may be times that we can not find comfort in anything. When we see that burning bush we run; when we're called to take the city we doubt; and the last thing on our mind is "send me."

But if you are there let me say this, "My God is your comfort." Your goal should be to find that comfort.  Don't listen to the naysayers who ridicule and doubt. Rest on the Word of the Living God. Whatever it is....my God is your comfort!

My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life. The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law. I remember Lord your ancient laws and I find comfort in them. Psalms 119: 50-52
