How full of holy comfort!',

"Your comforts delight my soul." Psalm 94:19

Our circumstances are often trying, and our thoughts very perplexing and depressing; but our God has provided comfort for us—a fullness of comfort—a supply of comfort for all times. 

What comfort is wrapped up . . .
in the precious promises,
in the perfect work of Jesus,
in the everlasting covenant,
in the prospect of a complete and everlasting deliverance from all sin, suffering, and sorrow!

O what a comfort it is to us to have . . .
a Brother born for adversity;
an Advocate with the Father, ever making intercession for us;
a Friend who loves at all times, who knows our every thought, sympathizes with us in every pain, and will bring us where He is in exact likeness to Himself. 

How full of holy comfort! What an antidote it is against despondency and despair! May I live on the Lord's comforts, when all within and around me is wintry, desolate, and depressing!
