God's Comfort

¹² “I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.

So why are you afraid of mere humans,
who wither like the grass and disappear?
¹³ Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator,
the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors?
Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies?
Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!
¹⁴ Soon all you captives will be released!
Imprisonment, starvation, and death will not be your fate!
¹⁵ For I am the Lord your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
¹⁶ And I have put my words in your mouth
and hidden you safely in my hand.
I stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
I am the one who says to Israel,
‘You are my people!’”

 Isaiah 51:12-16 (NLT)

In what ways have you forgotten God? 

What things do you turn to for comfort rather than God?

Will you allow God to put his words in your mouth & hide you safely in his hands today?
