The God of All Comfort - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The God of All Comfort - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 

INTRODUCTION

The Bible is clear that all comfort comes either directly or indirectly from the Lord. He is "the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3). Any true and lasting comfort man receives must come from the Lord (James 1:17), and the comfort given by God can comfort in any and all tribulation (2 Corinthians 1:4). Man seems to think that each problem he faces requires a different area of study that offers different solutions, yet the Bible contradicts this by stating that each tribulation has only one source of comfort. It is also true that comfort received by one person can be passed on to help another person regardless of the trouble. That is the power of God’s comfort!

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

  • (For smaller children) God gave us mothers for many reasons. One is to comfort us when needed. Mom may not always be near. But God is always with us and wants to comfort us (Isaiah 66:13a).
  • What troubles are you presently facing? At first thought, what sources would you think you need in order to receive comfort? Why is it crucial that you realize your comfort comes from God?
  • How have you taken God’s comfort to others? What did you learn about God’s comfort in a time of loss? How did you use that comfort to help someone else who had lost a loved one?

PRAYER NEEDS

  • Thank God for the comfort He offers in every trouble.
  • Ask God to help you pass His comfort to others.

HYMN

Come, Ye Disconsolate
