Comfort

“In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19

The above verse reminded me of a brief conversation I had last night via text with a dear sister. Oh, how very thankful I am for God’s comforting Word! I like Matthew Henry’s comments on this verse:

“In the multitude of my thoughts within me, which are noisy like a multitude, crowding and jostling one another like a multitude, and very unruly and ungovernable, in the multitude of my sorrowful, solicitous, timorous thoughts, thy comforts delight my soul; and they are never more delightful than when they come in so seasonably to silence my unquiet thoughts and keep my mind easy.” The world’s comforts give but little delight to the soul when it is hurried with melancholy thoughts; they are songs to a heavy heart. But God’s comforts will reach the soul, and not the fancy only, and will bring with them that peace and that pleasure which the smiles of the world cannot give and which the frowns of the world cannot take away.” ~ Matthew Henry

This morning, no matter what turbulent thoughts may be running through your mind, allow God’s Word to bring comfort to your soul!

“This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.” Psalm 119:50
