Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. Micah 7:8 (NIV) No matter how bad things get, we have an assurance that in Christ defeat is not part of our story. Though it may appear as though we are down for the count, by the power of God we will rise again. Be encouraged today and know that you are not the sum of your negative experiences. This battle is the Lord’s and He shall vindicate you. All that you’ve lost God can restore and more. Your future is in God’s hands, so hold on to His unchanging hand. Trust Him in the turbulence. Have faith over fear. Denounce the spirit of despair. Rebuke the roots of rejection. Prepare for God’s redirection. Look to God for your strength. Arise, God’s not done with you yet. He will get the glory from your story. Press Forward! ADaubon
