Comfort During Suffering

"Remember Your word to Your servant, for You have given me hope.  My comfort in my suffering is this:  Your promise preserves my life."  Psalms 119:49-50 (NIV)

This psalmist declares that The Word of God gives him hope, and it is a comfort to him when he is suffering because he knows that God is keeping him.

We should be glad and thankful that The Lord has preserved our life and allowed us to remain among the living for one more day.  We may be in the midst of a storm at the moment, however, the fact that we can recognize that and understand that it is only a temporary situation, (Psalms 30:5 and 1 Peter 1:6), should be a source of comfort for us.  We should rejoice because trouble  don't last always.  It was God who brought us to it, and He can take us through it.
