It is in the hard places where we see no help, we cry out to God. He delivers us? What for? that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 Cor 1:3-4 God has chosen, us to go through certain experiences and trails to profit others. There is in it a plan and purpose, its to help others. God takes us to a place of need, He see's and saves us from our trouble and before you are hardly aware of it, you are consoling others giving relief in their affliction. By the Holy Spirit, we can pour into each others lives ministries of grace and helpfulness. We need a strong ministry of consolation, not deterioration. These consolations come out of afflictions. We might go down but we our brought out for the glory of God, and to help others. For the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of trials. 2 Peter 2:9 He will never fail us.
