The Ultimate Comfort Zone

Many times we associate the term "Comfort Zone" with being complacent or being too comfortable to want to advance in anything. Today, I want to use this term differently.
When I think about a comfort zone, I think about a place of rest, a place of peace, a place of security. When I read Psalm 23, I get a feeling of comfort.
"The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever." Psalm 23 (NIV)

 Powerful words! Words of security, of comfort, of encouragement, of protection, of sustenance, of complete freedom in the Lord! Reading through this prayer reassures me of God's love, comfort and ever present help. This is the ultimate place that anyone should aspire to be in. In the arms and care of the Most High God - who looks at us and really just wants to care for us. There are so many verses in scripture that remind us of God's comfort - the place where He calls us to let ourselves go, secure that He will not let us fall.
He is our Shepherd (he feeds us ,he watches over us, he keeps his eyes on us). He comforts us and gives us peace amidst confusing or trying times. He leads us to places of peace and rest. He leads us in paths of righteousness - this is powerful! And even though we face difficult troubles in life, He is there with us. He protects us from harm. He lifts us up when we are down. How great is our Father in Heaven!
How awesome are the promises of God. We thank Him. Everyday, remind yourself of what God says to you because indeed, He is the ultimate comforter.

Be peaceful, be protected, be guided in the arms of the Most High God. The Ultimate Comfort Zone!
