The Comfort Zone

Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the Lord has cursed.”-Genesis 5:29 


 
 
And Dad utilized Noah to provide comfort.  He attempted to deliver it by warning of the impending flood that was about to make the world a little uncomfortable and then delivered the comfortable message that He still loves us by starting the family again through Noah and his family which would eventually lead to big brother Jesus providing the ultimate message of comfort. 
 
He can also use us to provide comfort as well.  This can begin by praying for those who need comfort and asking Him to open your eyes to it.  This could be providing a homeless person with a bottle of water, food, money, a gift card to a restaurant or whatever He leads you to do, praying with and for them, giving them a hug and reminding them Dad loves them and so do we. 
 
It could be looking into organizations such as Samaritans Purse, Foothold International or Bring Love In to help provide comfort for those made uncomfortable by too much water (flooding), lack of clean drinking water or lack of basic family unit to provide water, love, support and other basic essentials. 
 
In the end, whatever Dad may lead you to do, it all begins as Noah did by praying to Him, listening and then doing what He leads you to do to be a modern day deliverer of comfort so He can begin and continue to bless both you and others even more deeply:-)
