Premise
⁃ Our humanity should serve as a reminder the we are desperately and constantly in need of God to intervene in our daily affairs if true and authentic change will come about. Sometimes change isn’t born from words but pain. And it is only when we have discovered the study of pain, allowed the teaching of pain, and surrendered to the process of pain that we can finally understand what we gained.
Scriptural Insight
1. Our source of comfort is not in what the world offers but what only God can provide. When we rely (Trust, believe), He Supplies (rewards, sustains)
”All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.“
2 Corinthians 1:3 NLT
2. It’s not always about us! Gripping this mindset provides the opportunity to go through well understanding what is being poured in us is for us to pour out.
”He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.“
2 Corinthians 1:4-7 NLT
3. There are times in life that challenge us beyond our strength, understanding, and ability. Yet God always provides the strength to endure! Crushing is apart of the journey therefore the quicker we learn to trust in God completely there sooner we experience more and more of His power!
”We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.“
2 Corinthians 1:8-10 NLT
