2 Corinthians 7 -- More Joy in the Midst of Bad Stuff

No rest, harassed at every turn, conflicts, and fears.  These are Paul's words to describe his situation.  And yet God steps in at just the right time, in just the right way.  He comforted Paul and his assistants by sending them Titus, with an encouraging message from the Corinthians.

When things look bleakest, we can expect God to provide the comfort we need when we look to Him for that comfort.  He "comforts the downcast".  The joy Paul receives from Titus and the stories brought from Corinth provide the exact type of encouragement he needed in a challenging time.

God can be trusted no matter what.  His love is infinite and His timing is perfect.
