Comfort

S ~ And he called his name Noah, saying "This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed.". Genesis 5:29

O ~ Noah's name means comfort, or rest. They anticipated him bringing comfort. He brought the salvation of humanity through being righteous in a corrupt generation, and by being obedient to God's call to build an ark. I see that Noah did a lot of things, but I'm not sure comfort shows up.

A ~ I'd like to be a person who brings comfort to others, especially concerning the hard work in their lives. I'd like to be a comfort, a helper ~ not increase the toil or struggle or heartache.

P ~ Holy Spirit, you are the Comforter, the One who comes along side to help. Please fill my life to overflowing with the evidence of Your presence that I might comfort ~ come along side to help ~ the people of my generation.
