Nations treated you like you’re jinxed and cursed. But soon they’ll know you’re blessed beyond good luck. So don’t be afraid.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:4 (TCEB)
When troubles come, God is already there to comfort us. He does it to show us how to comfort others in trouble. That way, we can comfort others the same way God comforted us.
THE ESSENCE
God comforts us so that we understand how to comfort others when they experience trouble.
DAILY FODDER
How have you experienced God's comforting in your life. How has that enabled you to comfort others?
PRAYER
Gracious God, I wouldn't be here if it were not for your kindness. Forgive me for failing to pass the blessing of your kindness on to others. Help me to get outside myself so that I'm aware of needs and eager to comfort those who need comforting. I want to be a God-kind person. In Jesus' name, Amen!
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth

with what is happening in heaven.
