Tag: What the Bible says about God’s comfort

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-21-22

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

These two verses hold a lot of truth that can truly help us once we understand the full meaning of them.

Let’s focus on the latter half of verse 3 and then the entirety of verse 4.

Paul referred to God as the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.

The word, comfort, has some deep connotations that we should understand.

Most people think of comfort as something soft and soothing.

But in this verse, Paul was using a different form of the Greek word for comfort that points toward the fact that God came to him in his sufferings and troubles, giving him strength, courage and boldness.

You see, sometimes we don’t need a soft, gentle touch to make us feel better.

Sometimes we need someone to help us move forward, with boldness and strength, and with the courage to take whatever steps we need to take to accomplish what’s in front of us that we need to get done.

Paul knew that as he faced the crushing pressures of the tribulations that were always coming against him, God would always strengthen him.

Take courage today, drawing your courage, boldness and strength from God, our Creator and Sustainer, knowing that He will give us everything that we need to do what He has called us to do, even if it’s just walking through whatever trial we might be facing at the moment.

He is faithful. Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-21-20

Luke 1:46-47 (NKJV) 46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

How wonderful is our Lord and Savior, let us rejoice today in His goodness! He is with us, watching over us and providing for all that we need.

Holidays can be very hard for some people. Maybe they’ve lost a loved one, or maybe they lost their job.

Maybe they are going through a family crisis, or change of some sort has hit hard. This can be very depressing, causing us to not even want to celebrate.

So many times we will turn to something to ease that pain in our hearts.

This is for someone reading this today. Don’t turn to anything other than the One that can comfort, heal and take away the pain without causing us any other harm. He will bring stability with our emotions, and peace that surpasses all understanding.

Don’t let this season bring you down, leaving you depressed. Rejoice in God our Savior. He is right there with us.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You and ask for Your help. I’m hurting. My sorrow is overwhelming. This pain is real and I need something to help me get through. Please give me Your peace today, I ask in Jesus’ name.

In return, I will trust that You’ve got my back and I don’t need to worry one bit.

Thank YOU, my God, My Lord and Savior! Amen.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-23-19

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Where do we find comfort when we are facing tough situations?

Most of us find it in different places.

Many of us may find it in things around us that we can reach out for easily; a drink, a cigarette, drugs, food, or maybe even spending money.

We substitute those things for the comfort that God wants to give us.

In the verses above, God tells us plainly that He wants to be the One who comforts us. He wants us to go to Him when we’re troubled, handing our fears, concerns and stresses off to Him, so He can bear them for us.

The bad part about how many of us handle stress and trials is that the very things that we rely on for comfort are actually hurting us. These things can physically damage our bodies, the temple that God has given us. And if we don’t get a handle on them, they can actually affect our health adversely.

God not only wants us to go to Him for comfort, but He also wants us to be able to take what comforts us and hand it out to others who need it.

How will that work out for us if we are relying on things that are unhealthy? It wouldn’t make much sense for us to offer someone a drink (alcohol), drugs or food, would it?

We are all at different places in our walk with God. We are all growing at various rates. If we’re not growing, we need to be!

So, we can’t all be expected to be spiritual super-heroes. But as we pursue God, He will teach us how He wants us to grow and mature. And, if we follow His leading, before long we will find ourselves going to Him for comfort, instead of the earthly things that we have depended on for so long. Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-23-19

Psalm 139:10 (NKJV) 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

Sometimes all we want is someone to hold us and comfort us.

We don’t want to hear anything they have to say. We just want someone to hear us. We don’t want to be scolded or told what to do. We just want to be told, “it’s OK”.

We don’t want to hear what they are going through. We just want silence and loving arms to wrap tightly around us.

We don’t want any answers right now. We just want to let it out and get it off our chest.

God is waiting. His arms are open and He will hold us tightly. He will lead us perfectly through.

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-19

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

What are you facing today?

Are you troubled, distressed, mourning, or sorrowful? What kind of trial are you facing? Is it heavy to bear? Does it weigh you down? Does it feel like you may buckle under the weight and the pressure of it?

Does it feel like you’ll never make it through?

Let Him bring you comfort in your time of trial. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in our tribulation when nothing and no one else can bring us comfort.

Look to Him, lean on Him and go to Him. He will never turn us away or leave us feeling alone.
