Comfort from the Lord

"But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips will bring you relief." -Job 16:5

Lately I have been feeling stressed. Like I have been recently been slacking in my faith, and making excuses, and snapping at others for the stupidest reasons. Basically why I have been feeling like this is because the waves of life has been hitting me hard and my little inflatable raft is trying to support me at the same time. I've been needing encouragement, and comfort that only the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth could bring me. I've been having a hole in my heart that the Lord could fill.

When I read this verse from Job, I felt at awe. The book of Job gives me awe also, to think that someone going through so much pain and troubles but still trusts the Lord with every step of his walk is incredible. Anyways, to think that a Lord is bringing us comfort- that's amazing. I need His Comfort, and I need His Encouragement. This week might have been tough and hard to get through, but God is truly my cheerleader cheering me on, no matter what. When I have a bad day, His Word bring me relief. I need His Comfort and His Alone...I don't want to care about anymore about the temporary happiness of the world..instead I want to focus on His Eternal Love and receive His Comfort. Otherwise, I would be broken without His Encouragement.
