Who comforteth us in all our tribulation

2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Good morning dear friends, I hope that yesterday was a wonderful day. The church went out on visitation last night like we do every Thursday night,however last night was probably the coldest and wettest night that we endured yet. I am happy to say though that there was no major complaining and all of us made our visits and then some! It never ceases to amaze me though that when you knock on somebodys door and offer them Jesus they have so many excuses not to listen. Most of the folks the preacher and I visited were at home snuggled up in the warmth of thier house, and either had a beer popped open, or very well could've been on some type of drugs. Now there was one gentleman who told us that he appreciated us being out on such a night, and that we must be sincere. I would like to believe we are more than sincere, we are willing to go the extra mile to see somebody saved! There are so many folks dear friends that are hurting in life and you can just see it in thier faces when they talk with you, yet they don't turn to Jesus, they pour themselves into a bottle, or some type of drug that just numbs them from the issue at hand. I am so glad that I have a Savior that understands what I am going through, and that He is there for me. When we can swallow our pride and ask the Lord for help then I believe He just jumps at the oppurtunity to prove His love for us! My Savior is so wonderful that unlike a botttle of beer, or drugs He brings true comfort and peace. Friend if you find yourself today looking at a situation that you think is unbearable, then I encourage you to call unto the Lord Jesus Christ first for salvation if you are not saved, then pour out to Him your problems and allow Him to work in your life. If dear friend you are saved and you might have forgotten that Jesus cares, then I encourage you to get back into the blessed old Book and read what God has said about His understanding and love for you. Friend I hope that today you can see that God is a God of comfort, and with that comfort comes peace that is found through His Son Jesus Christ for all situations in life. Friend know this also, that His peace surpasseth all understanding, and His comfort is pure and undefiled, it will not leave you heartbroken the next day, nor will it damage your body or mind. The peace and comfort of God is everlasting joy in Christ Jesus! I say all that to encourage you to give yourself and your problems over to God, and let Him handle them for you in your life, that you may glorify Him through your testimony of what He has done for you!
