2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJV “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”

I just love my yoga pants, but if you read my devotions every week, you already know that. Any of you who own such attire will understand. Stretchy, soft clothing has a way of calming your soul and providing you confidence to conquer whatever lies ahead, and all while shrouded in comfort.

But apparently I showed up at one event too many in my yoga pants and now my daughter is all in my business over the vast collection of stretchy attire hanging in my closet.

To hush my daughter up about my clothes, I enlightened her of the description of God the apostle Paul presents in 2 Corinthians: “Blessed be . . . the God of all comfort.”

There you have it! “The God of ALL comfort.” Remember, if God says “ALL,” God means “ALL!” No exceptions! And that, dear daughter, includes the comfort of my yoga pants!

Case closed –  Mic drop – Definite eye roll from my daughter!

Gratefully, the comfort God offers extends far beyond the physical. When heartbreak consumes us, God’s peace covers us, helping us to thrive in our new normal once again. When we mourn those who have left us, God’s hope of a heavenly reunion comforts us as we continue living a victorious life on earth until time for our heavenly reunion. When life’s problems are hurled at us faster than we can process, His Word guides us toward wise solutions that fill us with a calm sense of affirmation.

So friend, through all the activities of your day, bask in the comfort of our Loving Father, but do me a favor. If you happen to see me out in yoga pants, I would appreciate you not mentioning it to my daughter. Just know, if you attend my funeral some day and view me lying in my casket with a smile on my face, you can be sure I am resting comfortably in my yoga pants for all eternity.

Father God, thank you for covering us continually in your comfort and peace.

Blessings of comfort,

Rita Cochrane
