“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. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 KJV
The God of all comfort!
Sometimes we receive comfort from Him and don't recognize it until after the fact; for comfort comes in many guises.
- A gift from on a friend for no reason!
- A word of encouragement out of the blue!
- A great number of "likes" for a prayer request.
- A sweet hugggg at just the right time!
Each precious in their own right, but collectively, in retrospect, God's hand very apparent; for He knows what and when we need!
We become so wrapped up in our circumstances and situations that we lose our focus. Purposing to keep our eyes on Jesus not only assures us of His peace, but also enables us to appreciate the smallest act for our good.
“Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.” Proverbs 3:27 KJV
Oftentimes, we are prompted to do or say a kind word or deed. Sometimes the devil will talk us out of it. We must always be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading, for we never know the impact the smallest act will have on the recipient.
This morning I am so very thankful for all of the prayers, encouragement and comfort given to me, this last week, by an "on time" Heavenly Father and for my brothers' and sisters' hands and mouths He used here on earth, in bringing it to pass.
Please recognize in your heart the spiritual huggggggg you gave and please receive the blessing back a hundredfold!
Do you need comfort?
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV
All things!
Even so - MARANATHA!
