Comfort

The word "comfort," from the Latin, means "with" (com) "strength" (fortis).  When the Comforter comes, He comes "with strength." 

Enoch (Genesis 5:24) discovered the Source of this comfort when he "walked with God."  If we walk with Him, we are comforted and given strength.  Nothing shall by any means hurt us, for we are in His Presence.

God is eternally and utterly faithful; He is present to us in every circumstance.  Why, then, should we be afraid?

  1. Thank you for defining "comfort." Too often sentiment without strength is presented as "comfort."
