As the Apostle Paul reminded the church of Corinth at the beginning of his secondletter to them, God is the God of all comfort. Take a moment to think about what reminds of you God’s comfort. Is it a particular passage of scripture that comes to mind? A sermon you’ve heard? A reminder from a friend? It is through God’s comfort that you have what you need to continue (verse 6). Don’t take those little moments throughout the day where you are reminded of His comfort for granted. God is speaking to you and reminding you in those moments. Hold tight to His comfort today when it comes to all of your troubles.
Even when it comes to relationship troubles, don’t take God’s comfort for granted. Sometimes, when you’re dating or talking to someone and they say something you don’t agree with or don’t understand, you might be tempted to vent to a friend or act like it’s not
that big of deal. Maybe:
1. You’re dating/talking to someone who has different views on issues that are important to you
2. You heard a rumor about something he did, but when you asked him, he denies it
3. There’s a guy you’re interested in, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in pursuing you
4. He’s not respecting your body or pressuring you to do certain things you know aren’t right
Today’s verse reminds us that we are to take comfort in the Lord in all of our troubles. Not just the ones that we feel like we can’t handle. All of them. So when you’re faced with relationship problems, don’t allow yourself to go chasing after some guy or start seeking
answers from his social media pages or his friends. Instead, go to the Lord. Ask Him to reveal to you what He wants you do in this situation. Ask Him to place people in your life who will pray with you and encourage you to approach your relationship in a godly, intentional way.
Now that you know Jesus Christ, there is no reason to try and handle all of this on your own!
