When I was little there were certain comfort foods that mom would make when we were sick: rice with raisins, cinnamon, and milk; soft-boiled eggs over toast bites; her famous chicken soup. These foods still comfort me today!
As a Christian when I need comfort–from grief, from fear, from worry, from stress–I run to the Psalms. I’m there now as we struggle to hear from God for our next move–I told Mike a worry that I had about God’s direction the other night, “What if it is God’s will for us to move to St. Augustine and I get a job offer for Costa Rica or Curaçao?” Mike just laughed (not unkindly) and said, “Don’t you think our God is big enough either to close doors or give us a bad feeling?”
Here is today’s comfort food from the Psalms:
You will show me the path of life;
In your presence is fullness of joy;
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
Fearless
