He Comforts Us


Yahweh your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will bring you quietness with His love. He will delight in you with shouts of joy.”
Zephaniah 3:17 HCSB

If you are in desperate need and a warrior turns up to help, would you let them help? Of course! This warrior loves us and His love quieten our troubled souls. Love does that, it quieten us. We stop to fret.

Think of a little baby crying in discomfort. As you pick up the baby and hold it close, eventually it quietens, in comfort. I remember when my eldest granddaughter was a few days old. She would wake crying in the night and my daughter became tired and ragged. I took Chloe from her one night and went to the lounge room and held her close and we both went to sleep on the couch. After this my daughter knew all would be well.

Our God does this for us. We need to snuggle into Him and allow Him to comfort us, He is so good. He sings songs of comfort to us, rocks us and brings us peace.

Rather than reject comfort, snuggle in! Amen!
