The God of Comfort



“Darkness enters every person's life. We see no way out of the situation we face. God seems a distant reality from another lifetime with no connection to what is happening now. When that time comes, Isaiah has a word for all of us. God is more than one who brings punishment and judgment. He is also the one who brings comfort and shepherds you through the valley of the shadow of death. You have no reason to fear evil, because in the darkest moments God is still your God and is still with you. Trust in your Comforter to shepherd your life, but allow him to do it in the way he chooses.”[1]
