“How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the presence of everyone you have acted for those who take refuge in you. You hide them in the protection of your presence; you conceal them in a shelter from human schemes, from quarrelsome tongues. Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his faithful love to me in a city under siege.”
Psalms 31:19-21 CSB
What a picture of a counterintuitive comfort…we always want to be removed from the pain, the suffering, the trials…but Gods solution is not always what we are wanting. Many times He wants us to run to Him in the darkness and rest in His presence. In His presence is peace and rest, comfort and joy. We can know Him in the midst of our trials if we seek Him.
