The God of all comfort!
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." -II CORINTHIANS 1:3, 4 [KJV]
What comfort we who are the people of God can find in these verses above. God is our Father, He is called the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. The self-existent one, Jehovah, the great I AM, is our comfort. He comforts us in times of sorrow. He comforts us in times of distress. He comforts us in trials and tribulations. Beloved, He comforts us at all times.
We see then, we who are comforted by God are able to comfort others, our brothers and sisters in Christ, by telling them and reminding them how God Himself has comforted them and us at all times. Never forget that you are not alone when you go through trials, as a believer in Christ our great God is ever with you and has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.
I ask you, do you need comfort during these times of uncertainty? Do you need comfort in times of struggle in your life? Do you need comfort as you look at your own sinfulness, even after we are saved? I know I do. When I see the sinfulness of my own heart, I cry out to God just as every born again blood washed child of God does and just as the publican did saying, “God be merciful to me the sinner.”
Look then to the God of all comfort, look to the Lord Jesus Christ, the only savior of sinners. He is the believer's source of comfort, just as He is the source of our salvation and all spiritual blessings which are in Christ Jesus our Lord! True joy is a fruit of the Spirit, just as love, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance are.
Let us look to our everlasting God who is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. Oh what joy will fill the believers heart when we do! Praise the mighty name of Jesus!
