The God Who Comforts
2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Look up comfort in a dictionary and we will find a definition like “something that promotes a state of ease or provides freedom from pain and anxiety.”

But according to God’s Word, when comfort or consolation is needed, the only true solution is Gods guiding Holy Spirit.

In Greek, God is called paraklētos, which means “he who stands at one’s side; he who comes to one’s aid.”

Believers don’t have to rely on outward remedies or distractions to ease their mind, because help is available from the ultimate Comforter.

Even before the Holy Spirit was sent to guide believers (John 14:26; Ephesians 3:16), Scripture identified God as the one who comforts His people.
Isaiah 40:1; Isaiah 49:13

The Lord personally provides consolation and reassurance because no one knows our hurts the way God does.

We like this anonymous quotation: “When we have gone into the furnace of affliction, Gods hand is on the thermostat and His eye is on the clock.”

God allows hardship and as a result, we become stronger believers, wiser servants and more humble people.

But God stays by our side through the entire experience, sustaining us and limiting the intensity and duration of our distress.

The Spirit’s reassuring whisper to our heart gives more comfort than the solace of our family or the encouragement of friends.

People who fail to understand the true source of comfort try to escape their pain.

They seek out pleasures, material wealth, or drugs and alcohol to soothe them.

Only God can offer lasting relief from the crushing pressure of heartache.

God even brings joy into periods of a Christians mourning.
