“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬

Today’s Rethink Church Photo-A-Day word is console. Console means to comfort someone at a time of grief or disappointment. Think of a time you have needed to be consoled or comforted. I recently attended the funeral of a special man who was well-loved by our family as well as many other families in our town. We all attended the funeral to not only be consoled but to console others. However, while at the funeral I was reminded that God is the Mighty Comforter. He gives us heavenly peace and consoles us even when earthly console seems out of reach. Today, remember a time God comforted you and give thanks.

Dear Heavenly Comforter, Thank You for giving me the ultimate console. I praise You for the comfort and peace only You can give. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
