Power for Living: Volume 8 Number 1  The God of All Comfort. Focus Text: 2 Corinthians 1:1 - 4 One of the paradoxes of the Christian life is that we experience the grace of God when we are afflicted and are weak (2 Corinthians 12:9). Our God is the “God of all comfort.”Paul says that God comforts us in all our affliction. No matter what affliction we face and no matter how severe our afflictions are, God can comfort us in all our afflictions, and God continually comforts us in our afflictions.

God’s blessing and favour in your life is the result of God fulfilling His covenant of love with you. Every time the favour of God reveals itself in your life, that is a token of God’s love for you. The psalmist wrote, “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation” (Psalm 1...
