My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life.
Psalm 119:50 (NIV)
This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me.
Psalm 119:50 (NASU)
They give me strength in all my troubles;
how they refresh and revive me!
Psalm 119:50 (TLB)
Today I was feeling very grateful for God's Word and the power it has to work in my heart. No matter what happens or what's going on inside me if I just hold onto God's Word the promise is that IT WILL revive and refresh my heart. Today I need to hold onto this thought knowing that if I do, I will see God at work.
"For everything that was written in the past was written to
teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement
of the Scriptures we might have hope. "
Romans 15:4
