Day 216: 2 Corinthians 7:5-6

"When we came into Macedonia, we had no rest. We found trouble all around us. We had fighting on the outside and fear on the inside. But God, who comforts those who are troubled, comforted us when Titus came." ~2 Corinthians 7:5-6, NCV

This is what's easy to call a Bible testimony. Paul may have been an apostle blessed by God, but that's just all the more reason for the Devil to attack him. Because the enemy focuses on those who are living in truth to try and break them down the hardest so that the Heavenly benefits are not reaped. So as we can see, even this apostle struggled with fear on the inside!

Now some people would say that Titus comforted Paul and his partner, but Paul himself describes it as God comforting them. Therefore, it is clear that God uses people as comfort and truth as well as the Bible.

So even if your pastor isn't telling the truth when he tells you to "fear not" 365 times, the point should be made. God's using the pastor to encourage His people! And best of all, perhaps, He can use you too.
