You will not be forsaken!

2 Corinthians 4:9 ESV
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
Breakdown
The enemy seeks to afflict the effective witness of every fruitful disciple. The enemy seeks to crush and perplex our work and witness and desires to hedge us on every side and press us into an ungodly mold. He uses whatever method he can to persecute and perplex us.. to oppress and embarrass us - to suppress our walk and bring us to the point of desperation.
But in Christ. Paul reminds us that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world, for although we may be afflicted in every way, we are not crushed - for the Lord is our life and our strength. And although we may be perplexed by all the difficulties we are called upon to face, for His sake.. we will not despair - for His grace is sufficient because His life-giving strength within is perfected in our weakness.
Today's devotional
Trust in the Lord no matter the circumstances of life. He is faithful and will not forsake us. Our foundation is christ and is unbreakable when we rest upon it. The enemy uses strategic attacks to break us down physically and mentally in hopes of us compromising our faith. The Lord's strength is perfected in our weakness. His strength is how we endure the storms of life. Look at the military in the training camps they go through to prepare for the real-life scenarios on the battlefield. Even with all the trials, when faced with the experience in real-time human error will surface. The great thing for a follower of christ is were human error plays a part in our actions. The spirit is also at work 24/7/on our behalf. Embrace the season you're in and be grateful for the experience. As unpleasant as it may seem, there is intimacy
With the father that only be forged through the fire. The experience gained will be vital for the season to come.
