Comfort Food

READ: Romans 15:1-7

Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. —Romans 15:4

I love the phrase “comfort food.” It speaks of the things that are so good, so familiar, so right, that they can always bring a smile to your face. For me, comfort food usually includes some form of beef and potatoes. Hamburgers and French fries. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy. Also, chocolate in almost any form imaginable. These are the foods that speak to me and say that all is well with the world. (I’m not saying they’re the most healthy!)

Unfortunately, all is not well with the world, and no amount of hamburgers and French fries can make it right. Real comfort is not the byproduct of specific foods any more than it is the result of alcohol or drugs or money or pleasure or power. It is a much deeper need that requires a much deeper solution.

Paul told the church at Rome that the search for comfort can begin in the pages of the Bible. He wrote, “Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).

God has given us His Word to draw us to Himself. Through a relationship with Him, He provides the comfort we need to live in a broken world.

Jesus is all this poor world needs today;
Blindly they strive, for sin darkens their way.
O to draw back the grim curtains of night—
One glimpse of Jesus and all will be bright! —Loes

Sheeesh Doggie, I had to go a long ways back to find your post of those very nice links. Thank you, they were lovely.

I have been a bit tied up with my Granddaughter and her husband lately. They are into the family genealogy and have needed a lot of info to start. Of course it involves a lot of coffee, dessert, and just plain gabbing, lol. It's fun and they are very good at what they do, so it's thrilling for me. Al's side is already done, so they are tackling mine. Hmmmm....wonder what they'll find?? ;)

Hi Sundog, I have been away from FR for a few days so I did not answer your posts until now.

I went to the link, it has some great presentations and they have the music too. The place I use, even if they have embedded music, does not play until the presentation it is downloaded. As it is such a pain to set up to play music there as you need another host to link to with an MP3 version of the music, whereas, PowerPoint only allows WAV files to be embedded.

The only drawback for me seems to be that very few allow downloads — but we can always link to them.

Thanks for the links I loook forward some more from you.
