My prayer for you for today is that the Lord will comfort
you in all the troubles that you face, in Jesus Name.
2 Corinthians
1:3-5
All
praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father
and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that
we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the
same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more
God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.
The comfort of knowing. We have a 3 month old baby, and
it is amazing how he change from being upset to where he’s got this big smile
on his little face. This is because he sees us, he can be crying, but
the moment he sees us he stops and then comes this beautiful little smile. It is
the knowledge that we are near and ready to help him in any problem he might
have. I think when it comes to us as Christians we are a little like that. When
we face problems we are unhappy and stressful and we get upset that we do not
see a way out or we can’t get past it. We are almost arrogant in a way when we
want to tell God what to do and how we would like the outcome to be.
I had an almost similar experience now when we wanted to
build on to our house. At first I was upset because it was too expensive, but
then God found a way to help us with funds. Then when the final quotes came in,
I realized we still did not have enough and was upset again. Then God brought
in help to make small changes that made it more cost effective and affordable. In
the beginning I was annoyed, because we had to wait so long, but looking back I
can clearly see how God blessed us with this whole process and that it all fell
into place just a He wanted it. He send the right people to help us and He is
constantly part of the whole process. So I can clearly see His hand at work,
because in the end we can do more than we thought.
What the enemy wants is for us to try and standalone so
that we can be easily beaten. God will comfort you and He will help you. He is
just not on your schedule nor does He need advice from us. He will comfort you
and let it all happen as He planned it, for His glory. So I can honestly say
that God is visible in everything. In the eyes of our children, in the smiles
of our friends, in the laughs of our parents, in the walls of our homes, in the
jobs we have, in the joy we share, in the sorrow we hide, in the pain we feel,
in the happiness and in the sadness, in the good and the bad, God is always and
ever present, ready to listen and ready to comfort. It is in this knowledge
that you will find your peace.
He died and defeated death to live and give the greatest
comfort to us all. The comfort of freedom.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers.
