​God with us: Weekly Pastoral Devotional

comfort

I am a warm blooded type person, I am almost never cold and often hot.  Even during the Winter I have to be told to wear a coat or hat because I am not feeling cold.  My wife on the other hand, is often cold and so at night we have this big old duvet on our bed that my wife uses and I shove off me...at least until the middle of the night when I sometimes wake up and pull it onto me.  This exact thing happened last night.  I woke up feeling cold, pulled the duvet onto me and immediately felt this warm and comforting weight help me go back into a deep sleep.

For many of us this world is feeling cold and unforgiving (and I'm not just talking about the weather outside).  Between the bitter divide of an election, the uproar over BLM and other protests and the number of COVID infections going up and up, we might start to worry, stress and fear.  

2 Corinthians 1:2-4 says "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

I pray that you, when you feel this cold wind of fear or worry, will know that God is a bit like that warm duvet.  He gives comfort to us in our times of trouble and with that same comfort we can be a comfort to others.  

Don't ignore your feelings, but know that God is greater and stronger than all of it and will give us peace.
 

In Christ,
Pastor Scott
