In the Bible God is spoken of as bouncing His people upon His knee as a mother, and comforting His own like a mother comforts her little ones. Isaiah 66:11-14  Also He describes Himself as a mother hen calling all her chicks together under her wings and covering them with her feathers so she can protect them.  Matthew 23:27   He has made it simple to understand His loving Heart and deep caring for His children.

When I was a young girl, often my mom would lay down beside me .  She was so comforting.  I knew for sure she loved me.  I would always take her arm and place it under my head and snuggle up close beside her.   She was a wonderful mother! 

The Lord as our Comforter is much like a loving mother in our most  difficult moments  or at any time when we reach out to Him.   It is so simple but profound that the Creator of the Universe and all in it, could love us so dearly.   Just one little nobody is as precious to Him as all the rest put together. 

It is sad that Religious Leaders who want Power and Control over people make it so difficult to know God.  They will pay a great price one day because they have come between His people and Himself.  Today Ardith Keef makes it a burden to lean on the Lord.  You have to jump through all of her hoops  and rules to simply lean on His everlasting Arms.  This is absolutely not the way it is.  He has made it all very simple through the death and resurrection of His Son, and belief upon Jesus Christ’s name.  The curtain was torn in half  (which divided  the people from the Holy of Holies), at the moment of Jesus’ death.  Matthew 27:50-51 JKV  The margin notes say, “The barrier between God and the people was  removed.  Now all people are free to approach God because of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins.”   Heb 9:1-14   God’s arms are since then open wide to the vilest of sinners.

In reality, God hears the tiniest whisper of prayer, He knows what we need before we ever ask, but He loves to hear from His children.  He is the Faithful One.  We are all  unfaithful, needy sinners at best , but  because of His great Love He has cleared the way for us to approach Him long ago at the Cross.  It is not hard to reach Him, to fellowship with Him, to draw near to Him as some would make it out to be.  There are no rules, but there is only one way, through the Blood of Jesus Christ.  He is still the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Jesus was The Way for the evildoer hanging  on the cross next to Him, and He is the Only Way for you and me.

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:  And He shall thrust out the enemy  from before thee;  and shall say, Destroy them. ”  Deut 33:27   KJV Life Application Bible  The margin notes to this verse say, “Our only true refuge is the eternal God, who always holds out His arms to catch us when the shaky supports we trust in collapse and we fall.  No storm can destroy us when we take refuge in Him.  Because God is our refuge we can dare to be bold.”
