2 Co 7:5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. 2Co 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Discouragement is a common enemy to be faced in this Christian life. Many of the great heroes of the faith battled discouragement at times. Paul found himself in distress and trouble. There were conflicts all around, and he had fears and anxiety within. There are times when we are surrounded by trouble and stressed by fears. Paul found help from God. God gives strength and encouragement to those who are down and in difficulty. Are you in similar circumstances? Look to God. God sent the encouragement to Paul through Titus. God often uses our brothers and sisters in the Lord to help and encourage us. Take advantage of the help from God. If you are down, don’t absent yourself from the house of God. That may be God’s chosen method of bring you grace and help.
