October Surprise 2026: The True God Revealed God of all Comfort -01

Having counseled two young men facing the end of their passionate pursuit of a dream, my counsel was simple. The end of their dreams would be the same no matter when it came. It will feel like the end, and seem like a loss, and a loss never recovered. Which is why I wanted to begin with the God of all comfort. Sorrow and loss are universal, even for God’s children. When we feel we have no refuge, and empty worldly comfort is no comfort, where do we go?

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Passages like Romans 15:13, John 14:16-18, Matthew 11:28-30, and Isaiah 25:10-12 are illustrated for us in the lives of Elijah and Hannah.

Our So What?

“Man is born for trouble as the sparks fly upward,” Job 5:7

Where do we go when the earthly comforts are but trifles? The cries of Elijah and Hannah point the way. God of all comfort is our ultimate victory.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Brethren, let us pray for one another.

"What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more.
