2 Corinthians 7:6; Nevertheless God, That Comforteth Those That Are Cast Down
2 Corinthians 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
The phrase “cast down” means “to sink down”, “to be depressed”. This word is used to picture the sinking of a person’s soul and life possibly due to discouraging, difficult and distressing circumstances. He sought for the divine presence of God to calm his downcast soul. A picture of true human need that finds its true contentment and satisfaction with the living God.
It was God that comforteth the Apostle Paul when He sent Titus to him to bring news of the well being of the church in Corinth. The Apostle Paul was like a parent concerned about the well being of his far off children, longing to know their state, their protection and peace. The longing for news can sometimes become unbearable.
