-
Many believers today mistakenly think that God's promise
-
is just for them to enjoy a life that is comfortable,
-
as if our value in life was somehow tied to our levels of comfort.
-
No! Let me tell you, people of God.
-
God has not promised you comfort; He has promised to comfort you.
-
Read what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
-
Our God of all comfort - His promise is to comfort us,
-
to comfort our spirits even when we face affliction in our flesh.
-
God has never promised the journey would be comfortable.
-
He promised to comfort us through the journey, in the journey.
-
Whether that journey is in good times or in hard times,
-
whether you face times of comfort or discomfort,
-
His promise is to comfort you, to be with you.
-
People of God, let me tell you.
-
Sometimes, too much comfort can be dangerous.
-
If you are too comfortable, be careful.
-
Because comfort often comes at the cost of character.
-
Character is forged in the furnace of affliction.
-
It takes revelation from above to realise that pain which draws you closer to God,
-
is more valuable than comfort that keeps you away from Him.
