Scripture: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV)
Reflection:
Pastor Tyler called this passage the home base for Sunday's message, and he gave us one simple assignment: "If you don't get anything else, just write this verse down and read it this week." So that is where we start.
Notice which way the comfort moves. It starts with the Father, it comes to us in our trouble, and then it keeps going. We are comforted so that we can comfort someone else.
Pastor Tyler talked about his office. It's comfy, with his music and his books and everything just the way he likes it, and he said, "Jesus meets me there." That is the place where we receive. But he didn't stop there: "I can't stay in there. I got to come out here and minister to you the ministry that He gave to me."
You don't have to make up comfort to give away. You only pass along what the God of all comfort has already given you. And as he put it, "The kingdom's all about multiplication."
Question: When has God comforted you in a hard season, and who around you is going through something like it now?
Practice: Write 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 on a card and put it where you will see it every day this week.
Prayer: Father of mercies, thank You for meeting me in my trouble. Fill me with Your comfort today, and show me who needs it next. In Jesus' name, amen.
