With yet another sad and violent event to contend with in America our greatest hope and only refuge is the Lord Jesus Christ. Only He can comfort. Only He can guide. Only he knows the path that lies ahead. I found this hymn to be a great comfort and encouragement to me tonight. I pray it would be that for you as well.
Comfort
Places where I’ve Been
I have not been to Israel
To touch its Holy sites
Nor to the Sea of Galilee
Where You taught your disciples
But Your voice that calmed a storm
Has spoken in my mind
And Your hands that healed the sick
Have gently taken mine
And the Lord of all the earth
Has walked with me today
To forgive my sin
Renew my Hope
And give me Life
Teach me His Truth
So I could learn His Way
Our Great Comforter
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted Matthew 5:4 NKJV
Frustration, a sense of failure, and helplessness conspired together this morning till tears flowed briefly down my face. Then God reminded me that my walk with Him is always and only by faith. To draw nearer we each must step outside the safety of our own understanding and onto the waters of trusting in Him alone. There comes a peace knowing that following his footsteps means walking with Him among the billows! There is where I am reminded again that He is the
Great Comforter!
