Read: Psalm 18:1-6; 34:19
Have you ever wondered... Why Christians suffer? Where to turn for comfort in tough times?
Christians are certainly not exempt from trouble, but when we feel
as if we are buried in pain, God offers us comfort to carry us through.
Life after conversion doesn't suddenly become a smooth, easy ride, but
it is different. We have access to God's richest treasures. His comfort
is one of them.
In difficult times, he pours comfort on our weary souls. When life seems good, it's easy to call on God. We casually toss prayers in his direction. We walk with a light step until pain stops us abruptly. Suddenly, God seems far away. We flounder in our pain, struggling to cry out, and all we can muster is a faint whisper.
With compassion, God hears. He sees you, fighting against despair. If we can only lift our eyes to him, we will see him rushing to share his comfort with us. He is our hero, our savior, our peace.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
