Psalm 86:17
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, comforted me.
token: mark, evidence
holpen me: to surround, that is, protect or aid: - help, succour
succour = succor: noun: 1. Assistance in time of distress; relief. 2. One that affords assistance or relief
comforted me: to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself): - comfort (self), ease
I sometimes plead for some tangible evidence of God's working, care and Providence in my life. That evidence often comes by his relief in times of distress and comfort/pity/ease.
John the Baptist: Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? (Luke 7:20)
Disciples: Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (John 14:8-9)
Thank God for His comfort, pity, relief, help!
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, (Philippians 2:1)
