When the storms of life are frigid and battles are raging it’s nice to have a good home and cozy comforter to snuggle up in. So it is with God, He is our safe place a refuge and a fortress and our Comforter. He not only protects but also abides and provides. No matter what happens He will not be shaken and can not be taken from us. We rest under His shadow knowing that nothing is greater than He. For in God we have come into the ultimate indestructible and supernaturally fortified fort and it’s in Him that we have comfort.
Ps 91:1-2
91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
NKJV
Ps 94:17-19
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,

Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

Isa 51:3
3 For the Lord will comfort Zion,

Isa 51:12-16
12 "I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid
Of a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
13 And you forget the Lord your Maker,
Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
And where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,
That he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
15 But I am the Lord your God,
Who divided the sea whose waves roared —
The Lord of hosts is His name.
16 And I have put My words in your mouth;
I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
That I may plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"

Lay the foundations of the earth,
