—- the God of all comfort.–2 Cor. 1:3
Do you remember the old song that says, “Troublesome times are here”? Well, you could say that about every generation. This world is a tough place to live. Everyone has troubles and trials, and everyone needs comfort–that’s the bad news. The good news is that God is able and willing to provide exactly what we need. He is “the God of all comfort”, and that is a comfort to know! Knowing that He is at our side to encourage and support us gives us great courage to face the storms of life. Whatever our need is He is able to help.
- When I am sick, the Great Physican is at my bedside.
- When I am impoverished, the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills is my Provider.
- When I am lonely, He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.
- When I am hated and despised, He loves me with an everlasting love.
- When I have sinned, He is the Blessed Redeemer who forgives and cleanses from all unrighteousness.
- When I come to the valley of the shadow of death, the Great Shepherd of the sheep leads me safely through.
Whatever you face today, or may face tomorrow, you have the blessed assurance that “the God of all comfort” will be there to help you. And, He never fails!
