insomuch that we despaired even of life:
We should not lose hope, but be patient
until all the problems turn into comfort.
When a woman suffers from labour pains,
the doctors ask her not to lose hope. After she delivers the child, her happiness
will know no bounds. She feels a sense of
joy when she looks at the child. Similarly, our problems are only for a while. We
will experience comfort all our life after
we go through these problems. Thus,
hope lightens up our life when we pass
through these problems. God’s ultimate
righteousness is in giving us comfort and
happiness. These problems will turn into
testimonies and give us new strength.
2 Cor 1:7 – And our hope of you is
steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of
the consolation.
While we walk through the
journey of life with problems, those who do not
lose hope, seek Jesus, and
hold onto Him will receive
absolute comfort and rest.
2 Cor 1:9, He says, But we had the
sentence of death in ourselves, that we
should not trust in ourselves, but in God
which raiseth the dead:
Paul said that when he faced the sentence
of death, he did not trust in himself. But
he trusted in God who raised even the
2 Cor 1:10 – Who delivered us from so

we trust that he will deliver us;
So, we should not live by trusting ourselves but by faith in God who is well
able to deliver us from death.
Rom 8:38 – For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
When a man loves God, then God will
give him all comfort. Precisely, it means
that, there is no problem on the Earth
from which God will not be able to deliver us. Problems that arise in our lives
should produce comfort at the end.
Christ can deliver us and comfort us
from any kind of problems.
Paul says that there is
nothing on the earth
which can separate us
from the love of God. He
loves us and we will surely receive comfort. We are
created to receive comfort
from God who loves us.
Those who do not know
Jesus and do not love him face different
kinds of problems. But those who love
Jesus stand steadfast in Him and receive
eternal comfort and everlasting life.
“A thousand may fall at my side, a ten thousand
at my right hand, but nothing shall come
near me”, says David. Those who believe in
God and ask Him for protection dwell
in complete safety.
