Comfort
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
I have seen many things this week that helped remind me of what my place is as a follower of Christ. Paul talks about becoming complete, but what does that actually mean. The above verse gives a pretty good road map and it is interesting that he starts with being of good "comfort". When you think of comfort, do you think what you can do for others or your own comfort? I have been in several uncomfortable situations this week, but I realized I didn't need to participate in those situations, but need to focus on my comfort in Christ. When God allows us to be put in those uncomfortable situations, He really wants you to look at the comfort of others and not ourselves. With comfort comes peace, and isn't that a better way to live? Focus on the comfort that God provides.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
