September 14, 2011 ~ The God of Comfort...

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you..."

Isaiah 66:13

TODAY'S WORD:

Oftentimes, when people face challenges, they seek comfort in things that are familiar. It may be work, an activity, or a relationship; and of course, we all know about "comfort food." But those things only bring temporary comfort. True comfort is found in a personal relationship with God in heaven through His Son, Jesus.

According to Webster's dictionary, comfort means to give strength and hope; to ease grief or trouble. No matter what difficulty you may be facing today, God wants to bring you comfort. Like a mother cares for her child, He longs to give you strength, hope and confidence.

Selah people' and friends today, make the decision to put Him first in every area of your life. Let go of those things you know are holding you back. Let Him bring you comfort by allowing Him to be Lord over all the areas of your heart. As you surrender to His grace, you will be filled with His peace and joy. You'll receive His comfort and be empowered to overcome in every area of your life!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father in heaven, I come to You today and invite You to fill my whole being. Give me Your comfort and strength and empower me by Your Holy Spirit to live in the victory You have planned for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."


In Christ service,

Patrick
