Judgements of God = Comfort

It seems I have had a lot of stress lately, and I was overwhelmed. I really did not know what to do. But I realized I had neglected to spend time with God. Too busy, too lazy and I had also taken time away from being steady.

Today, I stopped "forgetting God" and spent time reading a book about the judgements of God. Oddly I found myself very comforted. Judgements of God= Comfort? That is because the bible said that instead of seeking God to solve the problems they were cutting themselves.

I have mental illness and one very deep form of solving depression is cutting of ourselves. The pain is so intense during self harm, the mind temporally is removed from the mental pain. As I meditated on that I realized sadly that the people running from God were so out of touch with him that they would rather do bodily harm than yield to his leading. Yet, God told them that if they would humble themselves he would take care of their problems.

So I just humbled myself before God and found peace. I did not see the answer to my problems, but God had promised he would solve them. Slowly I am seeing my troubles turn around for the better. God's word is true.
