Some days, hope feels elusive. It can feel like we’re convincing ourselves, “everything is going to be ok” while also simultaneously wondering “is everything going to be ok?!” God’s people knew that feeling when they were wandering in the wilderness. And yet, it’s here that God says “Comfort, comfort my people.” We hear ‘comfort’ and think of hot cocoa, fleece blankets, warm socks – cozy stuff. But God’s comfort isn’t about feeling comfortable, it’s about being filled with hope that changes everything.
