In January 2003, a young man named Terry Drier was in the water twenty hours after his boat had capsized. He gave a valiant effort at survival, although he later confessed he felt certain that he was going to die. After a long while, a helicopter located him and sent word to a ship on its way to the Persian Gulf. The name of the ship was the USS Comforter. This vessel was on its way to do battle and paused to deliver one man. They went out of their way to save one man, and there was a doctor on board who nursed him back to health.

Some of you may feel as though you are treading water, and you are not sure how much longer you can hang in there. This weekend, as we turn our attention to Psalm 40, we are reminded of our Deliverer who is always hovering nearby. The God of all comfort will make sure that the comfort we need comes our way.

In Christ,

Pastor Chad
