Grace for your spirit July 1, 2008

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. II Corinthians 1:3-4

Often people ask why bad things happen to good people. Bad things happen to everyone because the devil and his works are still among us. Christians have an advantage when bad things happen to us. Christians receive comfort from God, and then that experience gives us the ability to comfort others in their afflictions. Let’s not be angry with God when troubles come our way. Instead, let’s bless Him for the deliverance we will experience, and then use that positive experience to help deliver others. The great gift He gives us, can we a great gift for others too. Every trial is an opportunity for good.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
