The last few days have brought cold weather to Texas, and those who know me know that I don’t mix well with the cold. This evening, when driving home from the office, I was talking with Tami and we decided that we needed comfort food. She has been sick at home for a few days and we just wanted something warm and good.
We all have those foods that we turn to when we need comfort. That food may change based on the event that is leading to the desire. Like today—because I was cold I wanted something warm that would make me feel warm and comfy while I relaxed. When I am under a lot of stress, my comfort food is chocolate. It doesn’t matter the form; I just want that chocolate flavor. I have several comfort foods based on what is happening around me.
Just as I have comfort food to lift my spirits and help me relax, I have scriptures that are my comfort scriptures. These are the scriptures that I turn to when I find myself facing various aspects of life: scriptures promising that God will turn my mourning into gladness, that God will heal my heart when it’s broken, that God will comfort me just as a mom knows how to comfort her child. Other verses promise that God will take care of me, be a stronghold when I’m facing tough times, and guide me when I don’t know which way to go. Your Bible is full of scriptures that can be used on those days when you just need a special word of encouragement, support, and love.By the way, our comfort dinner was chicken and dumplings. This has become a favorite here in our house and especially when it’s cold outside.
