The above photo takes a bit of explaining. What you’re looking at is the screen of my PC, the computer I type my sermons on. The phrase in the center of the display, “the God of all comfort,” was “typed” by my voice. I use a speech-recognition app to dictate my sermon into print while looking at my paper outline. (However, last Friday night – with a concern about a possible power-outage – I actually handwrote almost 20 legal-pad pages before dictating them into the computer.)
Do you see the tiny box, backgrounded in yellow and outlined by a thin pink line? Inside, it says “Please say that again.” This is message the app gives me when it can’t understand something I’ve spoken. But “the God of all comfort” was exactly what I wanted to say, so possibly the app was puzzled by something else I said afterward.
But I can imagine someone looking at that phrase and being astounded by it. “Wait. What was that? Please say that again!” Because the phrase (which is part of 2 Corinthians 1:3) asserts that God isn’t just a comforter – He is the God of ALL comfort. In other words, anything you need comfort about, God can provide that comfort.
