God Is Our Comfort

Grace AsomaniUncategorizedOctober 20, 2020 2 Comments0

Today’s Bible Reading: John 14:16-17

Memory Verse: John 14:16

‘And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;’

Commentary By Andrew Wommack

Remember that Jesus was saying these things to His disciples so that they would not be offended. Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is the front line of defense against the devil and his devices of defeat. The phrase, ‘The God of all comfort’ carries the idea of a divine comforter who encourages, refreshes, strengthens, aids, assists, and is an ever present help in the time of need. The ways that God chooses to comfort are not always the same. He may deliver you or remove the cause of the affliction, or He may comfort you with words giving you a hope for the future. He also uses people to share their faith with you by prophesying. He sends fellow-laborers to serve and strengthen you by the ministry of the Word, and uses the body of Christ as a channel to comfort you, using prayer.

The point is that the source of all comfort is God, no matter what channel He chooses to use.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, God revealed to Paul that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Paul, who had experienced God’s comfort in a way that perhaps no other man has, now reveals how the Lord accomplished this. It was through the power of the Holy Spirit. True Christianity is not the absence of trials, but the strength and comfort of Jesus through the Holy Spirit, that will bring us through to the other side.

Even a strong metal container with a vacuum inside will be crushed just by normal atmospheric pressure. But that same container, with an equal or greater amount of pressure inside, will be just fine. Likewise, an individual who is void of God’s comfort inside will be crushed by the pressures of this life. But a believer who takes advantage of the comfort available to him through the Holy Spirit, can withstand anything. Victory is not dependent on the pressures without, but rather on the comfort within.

    Sometimes life can hit us hard but the word of God will always comfort us, the Holy Spirit will always have a way of making us realise that we are not alone and that He is with us. For those of us who have Christ in us will not be crushed but will be encouraged for we are not empty but spirit filled

    Today’s devotional titled God is our comfort reminds us that there is a real place and need for the Holy Spirit our comforter
    We are reminded that His strength is made perfect in our weakness 2 cor 12:9
    No wonder the bible says count it all joy when we fall into trials and tribulations James 1:2 it’s actually an opportunity to see the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our lives even as we see in
    Psalms 46:1 (KJV) 1 God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
    Even so I’m reminded to call unto Him (Jeremiah 33:3)
    As the writer says :…. a believer who takes advantage of the comfort available to him through the Holy Spirit, can withstand anything.
    With Christ in the vessel I smile at the storm!
    Amen!
