In times of need... we look for comfort.
I try to seek out comfort with family..with friends... but they can only give so much.
But the obvious... right in front of me... my Beloved Saviour waits for me to call upon Him.
And As I lift my request for comfort, here He comes...
To comfort.
Not to be admired as the Comforter.
No, He's waiting for me to lay my head on His shoulder, for me to sigh a deep sigh and for Him to embrace me and comfort me and whisper peace to me.
For You and Me: Let us look deeper into the concept of what the Comforter is suppose to do. Is He to be Admired from afar with showers of complements of what He can do.... or is He to be Accepted into your embrace to actually comfort you.
sometimes "saying" you trust God and give your cares to Him ... is only an action of words, not of doing.
So Do It! throw your hands up, surrender your pride, breathe in His embrace, and sigh a sigh of peace.
David all throughout the Psalms uses words describing a closeness to the Lord. Using phrases like my rock, my fortress, my portion, and my refuge all sound like phrases of being close and having accepted the Lord and His provision; not someone standing far off just admiring the Lord.
