Strength in Weakness

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (WEB)

We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed,

Reflection

Life will press in on you. You'll face confusion, opposition, and moments that knock the wind out of you. But notice the pattern here: every blow has a "but not" after it. You may bend, but you will not break, because God holds you together.

Prayer

God, when life presses in hard today, anchor me in the truth that I am not crushed. I may be knocked down, but with You I am never knocked out.
