The devotion work I did on the section of Psalm 119 was on June 11, 2006. Things were going quite well for me two months ago. In the time since then I've gone through some personal struggles with my health. Really, not knowing what was wrong until yesterday.
This section of the Word is all about hope and comfort. Verse 50 says, "My comfort in my sufering is this: Your pr0mise preserves my live." Verse 49, "Remember Your word to your servant, for you have given me hope."
Most everyone around the world wants these two things! The end of most of what we do is about hope. My husband was working with a man from church today on a work project on our house and I was hoping it would all come out OK :). We go to school with hopes for a great job. We will go to church tomorrow with hopes to have God speak to us. And when God speaks He brings His comfort to our our lives. People can say nice things that give us comfort and God wants us to comfort one another but God also wants to be that source. In 1 Corinthians chapter 1 God encourages us to comfort one another with the comfort He has comforted us. God is the source of real comfort. Comfort brings hope...hope for all the tomorrows to come.
