and God's Comfort is Enough
When I worried about many things, your assuring words soothed my soul. Psalm 94:19

There is a rest remaining for the people of God through the days of their adversity, which shall not last always. I thought about the psalmist often when I was growing up and I wondered how his faith could remain strong through all adversities. Surely he never had to go through the difficulties of living in today's world. The psalmist had many troubled thoughts concerning the cases he was in, concerning the course he should take, and what was likely to be the end of it. But you see, thinking of him was the wrong approach. I should have been focusing on God whose word remains valid to all eternity.
God promises to be with us every day of our lives and this is a promise He keeps, just like all of the others. If He is with us every day, then he is certainly present in our time of needs, amen. All we have to do is lie still in his arm like an infant in his mother's restful arms. One of my sisters recently had another baby two weeks ago, I visited last Friday and the baby was crying continuously. I called my sister over and as she was reaching for him, he had already stopped crying because the baby can already identify his mother's comfort. But some us are in our 20's, 30's 50's even and still don't know how to rest in our loving father's arm. In times of trouble His mercy and grace holds us up (psalm 94:18). We may and should trust him to carry us through the dark days of our lives.God is faithful my friend. It is against His nature to lie. He promised to be with you and He is. Call on His name in your time of needs and your joyful days. Invite Him in. Allow Him to interfere in your daily dealings, for only He can provide the comfort you need. You may not have a spouse or a family to help you through life but you are not alone. God love is indeed sufficient. My dearest wish is that you experience God's love to the fullest.
Praise the Lord!
