2 Corinthians7:6
6 Nevertheless, God that comforteth those that are cast down , comforted us by the coming of Titus .
It's observable▪ how careful the Apostle is to ascribe all the supports and reliefs of his Spirit unto God. Nor is this Notion, or name of God unuseful to any that fear him; who through any casualties or contingences of this life shall happen to be cast down. It advantageth our Faith in Prayer, in any such straits to consider God, as having taken to himself the name of him that comforteth those that are cast down.
It is only the coming of Titus his Fellow-labourer and one dear to him▪ that he mentioneth in this Verse, as the means of his support and relief; yet he entituleth God to his comfort, under his dejection. God comforteth his people variously▪ sometimes by his good word, sometimes by his Providence; be what will the Instrumental cause, God is the principal Efficient.
