Summary

God is called by many names in the Bible, but one of the most comprehensive is the name "I Am." God has many titles that remind us of His attributes and can encourage us when we face difficult circumstances. Dr. Stanley uses the life of Paul to illustrate that God truly is the God of all comfort.

0:00.0	Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, January 16th.
0:06.0	2 Corinthians chapter 1 teaches that God is fully aware of every need of his children.
0:13.0	Stay with us as we explore further, getting a deeper understanding of the God of all comfort,
0:19.0	and how he brings peace in every circumstance.
0:21.6	It's interesting that when I hurt and sometimes when you hurt and we'd like to say, God,
0:27.6	you know what I'm going through? I can't handle any more of this. I won't out. I'm going to walk away.
0:32.6	We tell him all these things. You know what? It's interesting. I have never heard God say to me,
0:36.6	that's right, Charles. You're exactly right. Absolutely. Poor. You know what? It's interesting. I have never heard God say to me, that's right,
0:37.8	Charles. You're exactly right. Absolutely. Poor you. You're having a terrible time. Things are bad.
0:44.9	You feel like the pressure is on. And you're in a valley and you're in a vice and nobody appreciates you and nobody cares.
0:51.4	And no, I've not been. God's never responded that way you know why because

1:08.2	parties secondly god knows that to do that wouldn't do me a bit
1:13.0	of good. It would only hinder me because what I would do is keep magnifying the problem instead of
1:17.9	focusing upon him. So God always takes us in our difficulty, our hardship, our trials, and our troubles, and magnifies himself when we will allow
1:31.8	him to do that. Which brings me to the title of this message and brings me to the theme of it,
1:37.9	it's what I want to talk about. It's a title given by God about himself through the Apostle Paul that all of us who hurt once in a while we need to hear him
1:48.4	and that is the God of all comfort. Now when you go back in the Old Testament, there are lots of
1:54.8	verses in the Old Testament about God being our comfort. For example, what is the one that all of us
2:00.7	know by heart, the 23rd
2:02.0	Psalm? And you remember that part that says, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
