About This Quote
The Lord is my rock and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped. Psalm 59:16 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a buckler. Gideon was a judge of Israel.
He had a hundred sons who fought for him. The Midianites were attacking them, so he said to his servant, “Go through this camp and put a sword through each of their necks.” So his servant did what he was told. When Gideon realized that he was too late, he worshiped on his knees to God and said, “Do not let all the country be spoken for by this terrible disaster! Do not let all the people be wiped out by sword or famine! Let me live a while longer to look for some good news about them before I die!” As a rule, we don't often think about our possessions as being our greatest source of comfort in life.
We tend to focus more on people rather than possessions when we are talking about our greatest source of comfort. However, there are times when your possessions become your greatest source of comfort that give you great joy. For instance, when Christmas rolls around every year it is like Christmas has come early for most people because many families own Christmas decorations that they have put up over the years because they know how much joy it brings to their family once December rolls around each year. We all know what it feels like when we are listening to music that reminds us of someone close to us who has passed away or who we miss very much at this time of year.
The comforting thought that comes across our mind is what would they think if they could see us now right now enjoying that special music that brings back so many memories? Would they be proud? Would they be upset? Would they be happy just knowing that we're doing okay financially? Would they be happy just knowing that we're doing okay mentally? Would they be proud? Would they be upset? So many questions go through your mind as you sit there listening to those wonderful memories playing through your head
