Comfort In The Night
When small children awake in the middle of the night, if they don't run to their parent' bedroom, they will at least call out for them. They want to know-without being able to express it-that they are not alone. One little guy, after being reassured by his parents that Jesus was with him, said he needed "a Jesus with some skin on!"Are we so different? When the storms of life roll in and we find ourselves handling them alone, we look for assurance that God has not forsaken us. We know that's what the Bible says, yet we still want to run down the hall of God's "room" to make sure He is there. We have no shortage of promises in the Bible that He is, and yet we can't see Him in person. That's why the Bible encourages us to "walk by faith, not by sight" ( 2 Corinthians 5:7). Just as it is possible to love someone we have'n seen (1 Peter 1:8), so it is possible to trust someone we can't see.
During the storms of life, trust the promises of God.
