GOD OF ALL COMFORTS

“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you…’’
Isaiah 66:13 NIV
Main Text:

I believe stories like Abraham and Sarah’s are included in God’s Word so that we will better understand the nature of God. It’s about him and not us. It’s about what he has done, is doing and will do. It’s about the joy that only he can bring. It’s about trusting him along the journey and believing in the One who created all things, knows all things and can do all things—even the impossible. Is there a situation in your life today that seems impossible? As a child of the Most High God, you are not limited by those instances. You are not limited by your circumstances, the economy, or what others say because with God all things are possible! It doesn't matter how it may look in the natural, when you see things through your eyes of faith, you will see new possibilities.

Sometimes the greatest battle is not fought against outside opposition but rather in our own choice to yield our will to God's word. We must start our days filled with the word of God, seeking God and His righteousness first before anything else. Then we will be anointed and equipped to handle all things through Him. Instead of thinking that we are failing because our faith in the midst of our trials is not enough - that we don't believe that He can ever heal our hearts, or that we don't believe that He is doing what is best for us - let us turn to God and say according to Mark 9:23-24, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

God delights in giving us every good gift, the best of which are belief, hope, faith, and peace. He even brings unfathomable contentment in the midst of deep grief. No matter what difficulty you may be facing today, God wants to bring you comfort. Like a mother cares for her child, so shall His gaze be upon you in this 2019.

Prayer: I overcome every obstacle before me by the Blood of Jesus
