TEXT: MISREABLE COMFORTERS
JULY SATURDAY 28th
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 1:1-7
KEY VERSE: I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. Job 16: 2
Comfort is something needed especially in times of trouble and tribulation. You need comforting words and encouragement to lift up your dampened spirit. A bereaved woman that has just lost her husband or child needs to be comforted so that her pain of loss can be reduced. A man that has just lost his job needs comforting words to give him hope and let him know that it is not the end of the world. Men rally round during times of calamity to provide comfort, which to some extent are helpful. However, the best source of comfort at this time is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of comfort. John 14:16, “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever.” As our High Priest, Jesus knows our pains and understands what we are passing through even more than us, so He is able to sympathize with us in times of need. Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Men may attempt to provide comfort, but not like Jesus. The comfort from Jesus is a genuine comfort that has no deception, lie or hypocrisy in it. The comfort of men may be deceptive. During the period of Job's tribulation, he had three friends that came visiting to comfort him, but they turned out to be miserable comforters and mockers. Rather than soothe his pains, they were rubbing salt on his injury. It would have been better if they had kept quiet but they choose to pass judgment on righteous job. They were making comments on what they had little or no knowledge of. That's man for you. The person you are running to for comfort may be the person behind your problem. This person will be the first to arrive your home to sympathize with you, but it is a lie. He will weep with you but mock you at the back. Don't rely too much on men. Make the Holy Spirit your comforter and counsellor. Take your burden to Jesus and He will lift it off, He will wipe away your tears and put a smile on your face.
Thought for the day: Believe in Jesus and it shall be well with you.
Song for the day: Believe it shall be well ... Believe in Jesus it shall be well
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 53-55; Acts 27:2644
