Manna for Your Morning

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. — 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (Romans 8:37 AMP) Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. (1 John 4:4 AMP) “… we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! ” — Romans 8:37 (TPT)

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. — 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT) We may feel battered and beaten up by the troubles and trials we face in life. But don’t get discouraged by the difficulties that come. Even when we don’t know what to do, we can be sure that YAHWEH has already made a way for us. And our heavenly Father never abandons us. He stands with us. What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? (Romans 8:31 AMP) No matter what has happened in the course of our lives, we are still here! YAHWEH has been faithful to bring us through it all. And oftentimes, what we have suffered has served to make us stronger and more resilient. Continue to fight the good fight. Finish the race. Keep the faith. (See 2 Timothy 4:7)

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— — 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NKJV) In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, the Apostle Paul spoke of the troubles they experienced. He says, they were crushed and overwhelmed beyond their ability to endure, and thought they would never live through it. In fact, he says, they expected to die. But as a result, they stopped relying on themselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. When troubles press in on us from every side, may we learn to rely on God. Keep things in the proper perspective. With all that has come against us, we are not destroyed. Praise God that we are still alive and we can always count on Him to bring us through whatever comes our way!
