Comfort In The Word

Good Morning!! God comforts us in His Word,...the Bible. When we read His messages of love, we discover His character. When we unwrap His promises, we receive the great comfort that is meant just for us. We are reminded that God is good, and that God is sovereign. And we are told that His sovereign goodness is at work in this universe on behalf of all believers. God comforts us with His Spirit too. In fact, the Spirit of God is called our Comforter. When no human can understand, when no words can relieve,...the Spirit of God is still able to minister to our soul. By pointing us to the finished work of Christ, and drawing us to the person of Christ, the Holy Spirit sets our feet on solid ground,...even when our world looks to be falling apart around us.

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.2 Corinthians 1:4 (NIV)

And there is still another way, Paul tells us, in which God comforts us,...the very trials and consolations we have experienced, will be used to help others through their personal pains. God's Word brings comfort to others, as we share with others, the scriptures that have helped us. The Spirit of God brings comfort as we testify of the sufficiency of Christ,...even in the midst of our personal agonizing. Through the very comfort that we ourselves have received, others receive comfort; this, in turn, consoles us that our trial has not been in vain.

We are blessed, that others may be blessed,
...and we are tested, that others may see us go through,
...and they themselves, may have hope of over-coming.
 
Holy Spirit, help us today,...not just for ourselves, but that others may be comforted. Amen.
 
Many jokes are made about the devil, but the devil is no joke,...Be Mindful!"
