1. Because our interest in him is the ground of our comfort and confidence. 'Tis not comfortable to us that there is a God, and that there is a Lord, that may be terrible to us: The Devils believe, and the damned spirits feel there is a God, and there is a Lord; but their thought of God is a part of their Misery and Torment, James 2.19. The more they think of God, the more their Horror is increased; to own a God, and not to see him as ours, the remembrance of it will be troublesome to us, 2 Sam. 30.6. David comforted himself in the Lord his God. There was the comfort, that he had a God to go to when all was lost, and that God was his God. So Heb. 3.18. I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my Salvation. If God be our God, we have more in him, then trouble can take from us. So Luk. 1.47. My Spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. When you make particular application to your selves, it breeds strong comfort.
