2 Corinthians 1:3-11
Amen. If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 1. We want to talk tonight about The God of All Comfort.
I heard a story years ago about a man. He was sitting at the bar. He was staring at the drink in front of him, and he was just staring for the longest time. Some of the other people were watching him. They said, ''This guy's been staring at his drink for 30 minutes. He hasn't been doing anything, just staring at his drink.'' Well, just then a big truck driver came over and looked at the man, looked at the drink, picked up his drink, drank it down, put the glass down, and looked at him. And the man just burst out in tears, just crying like a baby. And the truck driver's like, ''Hey, man, I'll buy you another drink. I hate to see a grown man cry like a little baby.'' He said, ''No, you don't understand.'' He said, ''Today has been a terrible day. It's been the worst day of my life.'' He said, ''I was already on thin ice at work, and I got up late, and I missed an important meeting, and my boss called me out and fired me on the spot, made me clear out my desk.'' He said, ''So I cleaned out my desk and went to my car. And somebody had vandalized my car, slashed all the tires, smashed out my windshield. I couldn't drive my car. It was all messed up.'' He said, ''I had to get a cab. '' He said, ''The cab driver took me for a ride. I had to spend a whole lot more money.'' He said, ''I come to my house, and I get there and find a note that my wife has left with the neighbor. And she's cleaned out the account and all her clothes are gone and she's not coming back.'' He said, ''I came to the bar. I'm contemplating killing myself. And then you show up and drink my poison!'' It's a bad day.
Maybe you're here tonight and you've had a bad day. We can all relate to having a bad day, or going through a bad patch in life, or experiencing a lengthy illness, ...
