10/13/2026 – God’s Perfect Comfort
Psalms 23: The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Reflection: First, let us define perfect comfort. God reveals in the Bible what it means to have perfect comfort. It is more than physicality, it includes our emotions and, above all, our spirit. It is the place where your spirit is at perfect peace. Are you there today, or are you troubled in your soul? Your heavenly Father offers you perfect comfort—not in the absence of pain, but beyond the pain; not because of an abundance of resources, but despite their absence.
Perfect comfort requires righteousness. You cannot have true comfort when your life is not right. You may wear comfortable clothes and live in a nice house, but your soul is heading for torment unless you make your life right with God!
God offers you the comfort of His righteousness. You can rest assured that whatever is wrong, He will make right. He will not allow injustice to win. He may allow it for a time and for a reason; but when the unjust complete their iniquity, God will right every wrong! He will settle every account! He will reward the righteous and punish the evil doers!
When you are doing what is right, even if you must sacrifice and suffer, you can lay your head on your pillow and rest in the righteousness of God.
