When you hear the word "comfort or comfortable" what comes into your mind?
Here's what Collins Gem English Dictionay says about the word "comfort/comfortable:"
Comfort is: (noun) physical ease or well-being; consolation; means of consolation; (verb) soothe, console.
Comfortable is: (adj.) giving comfort; free from pain; informal well-off financially.
During one of my reading times, I encountered this word and it made me think. I stopped and just thought this word for a while and meditate on it. Checked the dictionary what it says about comfort/comfortable.
Did some checking as well what the bible says about comfort/comfortable. And found that they varies with their meaning.
The world (means us, human beings) think what the dictionary says when we hear the word comfort/comfortable.
But the bible says that, comfort/comfortable is not about being well-off, free from pain, being physically fit, or being soothed or consoled.
Comfort is being at peace and content of who and where you are no matter what. Knowing your situation (good or bad) and having that inner peace, joy and contentment knowing that even if you can't do anything with your situation. there is someone that can and that is Christ.
Trusting and having faith in Christ gives us that inner peace and joy and make us content in our lives, even if things seems bleak or hopeless. It's like a steady flow of a river or a brook, even in the midst of strongest storms. Knowing that it all will come to pass.
I believe that having that kind of assurance is the one that gives us comfort and makes us comfortable to face and deal with any storms (problems) that comes into our lives.
