“Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;”
Some have foolishly charged God with not caring about their life. The truth is God does care and His care is sometimes manifested in a manner that requires faith. Have you ever wondered, “Why doesn’t God give me comfort in this situation?” There is no doubt God has promised to comfort you when you feel cast down. What is not always obvious is the method God will choose.
In this scripture, Paul is telling how he was comforted and refreshed by his friend Titus. The underlying principle of God’s promise is that He will send people into your life to deliver His comfort. It is important to remind yourself, that friends, family, or kind strangers are a gift from God not happenstance.
This promise is manifested in many ways, most of which are simple every day activities. Phone calls, emails, text messages, hugs, kisses, kind words, smiles, …… are just a few ways God encourages others to bring His comfort into your life. The next time you feel cast down, look around and behold God’s comfort in the people He sends your way. Then receive His comfort and know you are deeply loved.
