Comfort In All Situations

Matthew 11:28


"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (NIV)


When tragedy strikes or problems overwhelm you, do you wonder what happened to God? Do you wonder why He would allow these things to happen? Everybody does. In fact, during Mother's Day our pastor announced that a Soldier had died in Iraq. His mother was there worshiping God. I could only think of her courage and strength, and I questioned if I could be that strong. She knew God could heal and comfort her, and she chose to be near Him at that very moment.

Our nagging doubts might cause us to question whether God still loves us from day to day depending on the circumstances/situation at hand. It's when we lose confidence that God cares about us, we are in danger of pushing Him away and separating ourself from our only source of hope. When tough times come, we must move immediately toward God, not away from Him. We will receive comfort and gain perspective.


Song: Comfort Song (by Hokus Pick)

I put my comfort in my stuff The more I get, well it's never quite Enough

Life without it would be really rough I put my comfort in my stuff

Give it up, let it go Step out of your comfort zone

God is big, we are small Yea, yeah super small

I put my comfort in my looks My face has grazed the front
Of magazines and books I don't want to get beat up by a crook

I put my comfort in my looks
Give it up, let it go Step out of your comfort zone
God is great, we are lame Yeah (x6) really lame
I put my comfort in my cash With t-bills, bonds and back accounts
It's really quite a stash I hope the stock market doesn't crash

I put my comfort in my cash
Give it up, let it go Step out of your comfort zone
God is rich, we are poor Yeah (x13) extremely poor
I find my comfort in God's grace When I'm in heaven I will look him in The face

The one thing that could never be Replaced Is the comfort of God's grace
Give it up, let it go Step out of your comfort zone
Happiness is relative Based upon the way we live
Give it up, let it go Step out of your comfort zone

God is great all The time Yeah (x30) all The time.

Do you still believe that God cares about you even when trouble comes your way? How can you learn to expect comfort instead of doubting His presence?
