Who Really Is Our Comforter When It Comes To Problems?

Everyone has their own problems in life. Whether we like it or not, trials will come our way. They'll come in an instant. How or when? We don't really know. There are different problems that comes in our lives, both big and small. Some are solved right away and some take a long time. Some of them are caused by nature and others by people. But the most painful ones are when loved ones, family, or close friends are the source of pain. And when we are in pain, our mind sometimes doesn't think right. Anger, disappointment, and frustrations dominate our thoughts.
But WHO REALLY IS OUR COMFORTER WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEMS? The answer is: The LORD. Nobody can give you peace of mind and help you get through it except HIM. We can do nothing without HIM. The bible says: "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (ROM 8:28) It doesn't say: "All good things work together for good". It says: "ALL THINGS", meaning both bad and good things that will come into your life will in the end give you a good blessing. We don't know how or when. But let's just try to think of all the blessings that He has given to us and compare them to the problems that we have. He blesses us abundantly. So instead of questioning Him why all these bad things are happening to us, let's just thank Him for all the blessings that we have and praise Him all the days of our lives. The truth is, we really don't have the right to question God (JOB 38-42). We're just His creations. He can do whatever He pleases (PSALM 135:6). He is GOD Almighty and no one can fathom His sovereignty. God is good all the time.

Lord, thank you so much for your loving kindness. For giving me peace when I'm in trouble, for opening my eyes and heart to see how good You are to your children. Thank you for the salvation oh God, and for all the blessings that You gave to me... my husband, daughters and my family back in the Philippines. Jesus...I thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. Amen.
