Comfort

I’ve been reading through Psalm 119 lately. While this is the ultimate Psalm about the power and beauty of God’s Word, many of the verses specifically address suffering.

Today I just wanted to share with you some highlights from this Psalm that I have returned to over and over again and have found great comfort in.

May God’s precious Word speak peace and consolation to your soul today.

Blessings,

-Joanna

(from Psalm 119)

28 My soul is weary with sorrow;

   strengthen me according to your word.

50 My comfort in my suffering is this:

   Your promise preserves my life.

68a You are good, and what you do is good;

75 I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous,

   and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

92 If your law had not been my delight,

   I would have perished in my affliction.

107 I have suffered much;

   preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word.

165 Great peace have they who love your law,

   and nothing can make them stumble.

175 Let me live that I may praise you,

   and may your laws [Word] sustain me.

Amen.
