Psalm 23:4 (MSG) Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure.
Psalm 119:76-77 (HCSB) 76 May Your faithful love comfort me as You promised Your servant. 77 May Your compassion come to me so that I may live, for Your instruction is my delight.
Isaiah 66:13 (HCSB) As a mother comforts her son, so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
God does not leave us comfortless, but we have to be in dire need of comfort to know the truth of his promise. It is in time of calamity... in days and nights of sorrow and trouble that the presence, the sufficiency, and the sympathy of God grow very sure and very wonderful. Then we find out that the grace of God is sufficient for all our needs, for every problem, and for every difficulty, for every broken heart, and for every human sorrow. Peter Marshall (1902-1949) Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World.
