A look at some verses from the Psalms to comfort and to encourage
Psalm 23 is familiar to many. Numbers have memorized it. It often appears in funerals as well as other events.
Just now, let us take a brief look at this verse: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (23:4; NAS).
Recently several have walked through this valley, husbands and fathers, hard-working men whose lives were focused on pleasing the Lord. And their families grieve. But here is comfort.
As He was with their loved ones, so He is with the bereaved. So they fear no evil. So His rod and His staff--difficulty and direction--comfort them.
"A father of the fatherless and a judge for widows, is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely" (Psalm 68:5-6a; NAS).
For others, there is this verse from Psalm 90:
"So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom" (90:12; NAS).
