Daily Devotion:
"Our Comfort Abounds Through Christ"
2 Corinthians 1:5
New International Version
5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
When life gets difficult, how do you respond? Do you begin to doubt God, wondering why He’d let adversity
happen? Or do you turn to Him, seeking to better understand His ways and grow stronger in faith?
Paul writes, “For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ” (v. 5). The apostle explained to the Corinthian believers that the trials he and Timothy endured taught them to rely on God’s strength, not their own. Bolstered by God’s faithfulness in the past and the prayers of other believers, they held on to hope.
We will all face difficulty at one point or another. And when that happens, we should try to respond like
Paul and Timothy—trusting in the Lord, even though our pain may seem unbearable. Ask the Lord to comfort you. His power is unparalleled and available to every believer.
