Rise and Shine!! What a great way to get started this Monday by reading todays newest #DREAMTEAM read this morning. Its only going to take a few minutes, I hope you enjoy it. Share/Share/Share #TheComfortExperience Title: The Comfort Experience Scripture Read: Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. - Isaiah 40:1-2 (NIV) Todays Devotional Read: Several months ago I began visiting our county jail to lead a Bible study with prisoners. Many of these men had been separated several weeks from their families, their jobs, and any visible means of support. I imagine they felt hopeless. The prophet Isaiah wrote the Bible passage above, offering hope to a hopeless situation. At our prison Bible study, I read this scripture, directed a brief discussion, and closed with prayer. I remember looking into each face. Together we felt the presence of God’s Spirit in that tiny place. And we felt something else — the healing that came when we trusted God’s word. God is wherever we are, locked up or free. God can speak to hearts that are open and receptive or those that are closed and full of anger. I began to see a change in their lives each time we met to study together. When we trust in the Lord, we will receive a blessing. Comfort comes to open hearts.
