My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life. Psalm 119:50 NIV
Have you ever heard that the end justifies the means? I think that statement basically means that the final outcome is really what is important in a situation. Sometimes getting to a solution may be tough, but if the ending is good, it will be worth the effort getting there.
This week I want to talk about the comfort of God. I have the occasion to minister to people every week and one thing I know for sure, people are hurting. People need the comfort only God can provide. Recently I was speaking with a man who has struggled in various relationships in life. Following the break up of a long relationship has left him feeling hopeless. He feels there is no where to turn. In speaking with him I realized that his greatest need was indeed a relationship, but not with another woman, he needs to strengthen his relationship with the God who created him.
There is something about knowing that everything is going to be okay that gives us hope to go on, even in the midst of great trials. Dear friends, can I remind you today that if you know Jesus as your personal Savior, everything is going to be alright. It may not seem like it right now, but God is at work in your life. If that is not true, then the Bible is not true. And, believe me, the Bible IS TRUE!
Do you need to take your focus off the problems that surround you and place them on the Problem-Solver? Focus again on the God who cares for you beyond your understanding. Make God the center of your hopes and dreams. Give God your failures, your heartaches, and your pains, and allow Him to share with you His peace.
