CUP OF COMFORT: Hunker with Him

“For where two or three have gathered together in My name,

I am there in their midst.”

Matthew 18:20

• As the four hurricanes blew across our town in the fall of 2004, we heard lots of people saying, “We’re just going to hunker down and ride it out.” “Hunker down” brings a distinct image to mind, doesn’t it? And most everyone was planning to hunker with others—not alone. That’s my point: Have you noticed how, in the midst of stormy times, human beings seek one another out and hunker down together? Their troubles tend to drive them into one another’s arms, producing a strength that transcends the abilities of any single individual. When trouble hits, we feel tossed by wind and wave. But the gracious miracle is that we are usually hurled right into someone else! We find comfort in the storm through fellowship with two or three other Christ-believing storm fighters. And why not? Christ is right there with us. As we hold hands in a storm, we share together in Christ’s presence.
