Limitless comfort

November is here and off to a rollicking start! Christmas talk and plans are already being made. Stores are already decked with green and red and before long bells will be jingling, but here at Carpe Diem Domino, we are just getting started in the month-long celebration of Thanksgiving.

I've already got a jump start on some posts ideas for this month but tonight, I just wasn't sure which direction the Lord wanted me to go in with today's post. So I sat here at my desk for awhile and then decided to just open up the Bible and see what He would give me. I asked Him to guide and direct to something He could teach me and something I could walk away with.

He delivered. (just like He always does).

I took the right corner of my Bible, pulled it back and opened up to Isaiah 41. Okay, seems like just as good of a place to start as any so I allowed my eyes to wander around the page a little bit but quite quickly, one verse just popped right out at me,

"For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not: I will help thee." Isaiah 41:13

Today, I am thankful for God's Word.

It's as though the Bible is a layered like an onion. When I first got saved, I understood enough to get saved but as I have grown in Him and learned from Him and as the Holy Spirit teaches me through The Word, some verses seem to become "uncovered" as time passes. I learn to appreciate the words in that Book in different ways and different depths as I progress in my walk with Him. No other book can do that.

I know I have read Isaiah 41:13 before. A few times actually. But tonight, when I opened my Bible up and asked God to give me something and He makes that verse pop off the page to me, well, that verse just got another dimension for me tonight.

He gave me comfort tonight, knowing that He is my God and He'll hold my hand....that is comfort, limitless comfort.
