The God that comfort everyone

    Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the   God of all comfort… 2 Corinthians 1:3. What a beautiful description of our heavenly Father; He’s the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. It reminds of the beautiful description of the Holy Spirit as our Comforter John 14:16-17. Thus, it doesn’t matter what situation you’re in right now, our God is Father of mercies,  and God of all comfort; he’ll comfort you.

    God comforts you with the Word, by reminding you of who you are, your inheritance in Christ, the special place you occupy in   Him, your abilities in Christ and the glorious victories you’ve won in the past. He never likes it when you’re forlorn or downcast. He wants you happy all the time. That’s why He never condemns you, even when you’ve blown it, or done something wrong. He corrects you in love, and urges you on. Always, He assures you of His love for you and His indwelling and abiding presence.

   So, if lately, you’ve felt unhappy or even depressed about certain things that are going on around you, the Lord is saying to you today, don’t be depressed; put on strength! “Awake, awake, put on strength, o arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to the pass over?” Isaiah 51:9-10.  Think about all the glorious things you did in the Name of the Lord throughout the year, and then wake up, for there’s more! There’re more victories for you ahead; so be encouraged, for the Lord is with you! He’ll yet do great and mighty thing with your life. So awake, be comforted and put on strength!
