Topic: Comfort and peace
Comfort is the state of physical ease and freedom from pain. Freedom from physical pains, sickness, affliction, etc., is what we called comfort. Peace, on the other hand, is the state of harmony in the absence of hostility, violence and war. Peace is the absence of storm and troubles.
The only source of comfort and peace is God. And these can be obtained through Jesus Christ, our Lord (Romans 5:1, John 14:27). It is only the presence of God that can calm the storm, troubles and relentlessness. The following bible verses prove that even when in the storm, in much troubles, facing threats from the opposition and appearance of the enemy, the presence of God is greater to render them ineffective (Psalms 23:4, Isaiah 43:2, Mark 4:36-39). Ever since David was anointed as the king, the devil had been after his life to ensure he did not become what God had projected for his life. He was moving from our trouble to another which inspired some of his Psalms.
Psalm 3: Written when he was fleeing his son Absalom.
Psalm 57: Written while he was hiding from Saul in a cave.
Psalm 59: Written when Saul sent men to watch David's house and kill him.
Psalm 60: Written after David's victory over the Edomites.
Psalm 63: Written while he was in the desert of Judah, fleeing from his enemies.
Psalm 142: Written when he felt trapped and alone, pleading with God for refuge.
Psalms 52, 54, 56: These psalms were written during periods of persecution by Saul and the Philistines.
In all of these, he wrote Psalms 23 acknowledging God's magnificence and opulence to lead, guide, protect, provide, and to care for His own. And God's assurance of His faithfulness.
The prerequisites to receiving comfort and peace is to be in God's presence. To be in God's presence is to be recognised by Him. And being recognised by God is to be born again and have a cordial relationship with God. More so, Have faith in God to comfort you and give you peace, even when you're passing through the turbulent moments of life. May God Almighty deliver you from every turbulent moment you find yourself. The One who calmed the storm on the sea will calm the storm in your life. Amen.
This is another chance for you to give your life to Jesus Christ. If you're still struggling with sin. Call on Jesus Christ now to save and deliver you from the power of sin. Say this prayer;
Lord Jesus, I call unto You this moment because You are the only one who can save me. I surrender my life to You, save my soul, save me from perishing. Help me to follow Your lead henceforth and to live my life to please You alone. Amen.
Congratulations to you for saying that prayer. Stay blessed.
Shalom!
