In the winter time
when it gets colder we eat differently. We eat good stuff like home
made vegetable soup with cornbread. We even make dumplings more
often. I prefer chicken with mine, but squirrel will work just as
fine. We call this act eating comfort food. I guess the reason that
we do this is because the body is enduring different types of stress
during the colder months of the year.
People in the
northern states even suffer more from depression at this time of the
year. They have a special name for it, but I can't call it right now.
My buddy used to suffer every winter from depression when she lived
in Pennsylvania. She finally moved down here, but I’ve not saw her
in a couple years.
Anyway,.......back
to my gig. Have y'all ever realized when your reading the Word
that some scripture verses just make you feel good? I call these
types of verses comfort Word. There is a lot of them in the Bible. I
would just like to share one with you today. It can be found in the
book of Isaiah, 41 chapter, and verse 10.
Yep,.......that's
right,........our Creator is so big, and powerful that He tells us
not to have any fear, because He is
with us.
Then
He says,.... be not dismayed. I looked in the Strong’s commentary
to see what that word actually meant in the context of this
scripture. It said, (A
primitive root; to gaze
at or about (properly for help); by implication to inspect,
consider,
compassionate,
be
nonplussed
(as looking around in amazement) or bewildered
)
OK,..........Not
only does He say to not to have any fear, but not to be looking
around for any help, because He is our God!!
Look
at the promises that He makes in this verse!! He is with us!! He
is my God!! He will give me
strength, and help me!! Then He say's that He will uphold me with
His right hand of righteousness!!
Now,......I’m
not sure about you,.... but I believe that we should get excited any
time that our God makes His people a promise, little lone this many
in the same verse!!
God
say's that He will give us strength. The only thing is that He
doesn't specify in what area, so........knowing my God the way that I
do,......I believe that He will give us strength in any area that we
need it in!! Whether it may be physical, mental, Spiritual,
financial, or whatever area that we are experiencing weakness in. Since He said that He would help us assures us,..... that He knows exactly what we need.
The
last promise is guaranteed by His awesomeness!! He makes it very
personal when He says that He will uphold ( obtain, retain, hold
fast) with His right hand of His righteousness!!
Now,.....our
God, or Creator get's personal with us, because that is the kind of
relationship that He expects to have with us. He has always wanted
things with us to be on a personal level. Wouldn't you like to
experience a true love relationship with someone that really cares
for you, and can give you the things that really are important to
you?
…...................Much
Love
