Today’s Scripture: Psalm 23:4 ESV: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Life can be uncomfortable at times. There are seasons that make us catch a glimpse of the valley of the shadow of death. But when we know the LORD is with us, we fear no evil and we find comfort.
I returned to an almost five year old affirmation today and realized the most comfortable place I have experienced in my life is still my prayer closet. Seriously, I find comfort there more today than ever.
Alone with God I confirm that He is all that I fear. The awe and love for God experienced there reminds me that He has already set a table for me. I can trust His plan and find true comfort in Him. I realize He is all I want.
Like David here in Psalm 23:4 I want to dwell with the LORD all the days of my life.
Where are you most comfortable?
Today’s Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for guiding me to You. Thank You for restoring me with Your green pastures and Your still waters. Thank You for being with me, for comforting me and for restoring my soul. I only fear You LORD and I seek to dwell with You all the days of my life. I trust that Your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Amen
