A Cup of Comfort with two Sugars

Marie posted this sweet scripture lullaby a few days ago.  I listened to it Tuesday afternoon and loved it.  Tuesday night the worst part of our winter storm blew through and left me without electricity.  I was, I'll admit a bit scared and took my dog to sleep in my bed for the first time since we've had him.  I found myself waking often that night in a bit of a panic at all the different noises.  At one point I got up just to double check if all my doors were locked and my house was still in one piece.  As I made my way back to bed I prayed the words of this song, of Ps. 46:10- Be still and know that I am God, and of  Ps. 4:8 - I will both lie down in peace and sleep; For YOU alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.  It is so awesome that God's word does not return void.  That the verse we need always finds its way from our heart to our mind at the proper time.    

Ps. 46:10

I also received a LOVE gram from these two Sugars the next day!  Thanks Marie.  : )

I hope you enjoy.

God Bless and Take Care.

Love,

Cup of Comfort

John 15:11 (Whole Chapter)

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

A Cup of Comfort

Psalm 68

³But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

⁴Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

⁵A father of the fatherless...

This verse has brought me much comfort today. Although, I have a father, and he will be in my heart and memories forever... I found myself thinking of the things I wished my father would be here to see, like: me finish school, my children, my nephews grow and become young men. When I was thinking of these things and growing a bit sad this verse (the father to the fatherless part) popped into my mind. God is our father and was before our earthly fathers, he knows our every moments and wants to share them with us to discuss them with us and share our joy and pain just like our earthly fathers, but better. Better because they are made in HIS image. I am so glad God brought this very simple, but humbling thought to my mind. He said, "Jodi do not loose heart I AM the father of the fatherless". Thank you Lord for your comforting Holy Spirit.
