Dedication

For the Savior who loves me

and designed me for a specific purpose

For my husband, Jack, who loves me

and supports me unconditionally.

For my son, Chris, who believes in me

even when my own belief falters.

Foreword

I stumbled across the Comfy Chair with a View on Facebook. As I read these devotionals, my heart would respond with joy, hope, and peace. I began looking forward to them, excited at what God had prepared for me through Faye in her comfy chair. The Biblical depth and daily applications left me feeling inspired and hungry for more. Faye’s way of asking hard, real-life questions is so refreshing and makes me want to rush forward in my reading to embrace the clarity and truth that are on the way.

At the same time I’ve realized I need to go back through the devotionals and digest them in my own private time with Jesus. I found it hard to get back online and find the specific devotional. That’s when a solution came to mind. Why not ask the author to create an e-book I could purchase so that I could easily find and meditate on the devotional that had spoken so deeply to my heart?

Thankfully, I had met Faye last year and we have shared some beautiful times of prayer together, so I messaged her like any bossy friend would and asked when she was publishing her devotional e-book. After prayerfully considering this option she said yes, and here is the amazing result.

I trust she will continue to publish these books throughout the years, because the content is so absolutely powerful and explained in such a way that you feel like you are receiving a cold drink on a hot day. I am so very thankful for how God has brought Faye into my life. Her writings from the Comfy Chair with a View feel like a chat with a wise mentor. They offer hope, encouragement and gentle motivation to apply the truths taught.

You can’t help but feel that you are journeying with Faye as you join her by her Comfy Chair with a View. The questions, the struggle and then the truth, hope, and challenge always leave me feeling inspired and better equipped to face the day. Thank you, Faye, for creating this e-book, I know I and numerous others will be encouraged, challenged, and led to maturity in Christ because of it.

‘Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.

For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.

Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.

She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.

She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.

Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;

happy are those who hold her tightly.

By wisdom the Lord founded the earth; by understanding he created the heavens.

By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,

and the dew settles beneath the night sky.

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.

Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul.

They are like jewels on a necklace.

They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble.

You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly.

You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security.

He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.’

Proverbs 3:13-26

Author’s Note

The Comfy Chair with a View is the place I go each morning to meet with the Creator. I have come to realize I’m a much better person when I invest my time in this practice.

I take my cup of Coffee with me as I settle in to open the Bible and learn more about the God who loves me and designed me for His purpose. Since I am easily distracted, I open my Journal to write my prayers so that I stay on task.

Thus the daily tagline, Coffee, Bible, Journal.

In this devotional, I share with you some of the truths God has shown me as I’ve spent time in that chair. You’ll find a scripture picture for each day. I find that sometimes the pictures help me remember the scripture better. It might help you, too.

One morning, I had this conversation with God:

God: Every success, every suffering is all
