from Isaiah 40:1-11
What comforts you? Are you a stress eater? Do you find comfort in people? Do you seek pleasure as an escape from difficulties?
We tend to seek comfort in the temporary and company in those who bear the same weaknesses we do, when all the while God is offering us comfort that lasts because it is comfort based on His promises, His faithfulness, and His Son Jesus. In Isaiah 40 we find that God is offering us comfort based on His promises before we ever knew we needed them to be true!
