Persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed ( 2cor 4:9)
In his earthly ministry Paul went through extremely difficult moments. The above scriptures paints two vivid pictures. The first picture , ” persecuted and not abandoned is one of the enemy being cruel and and giving him unfair treatment while the divine defender stands nearby. ” He is pursued but not left alone.
In the second picture, the enemy has overtaken him, struck him and knocked him down but he is able to rise again.
Christian friends, don’t be surprised when you find yourself in such a scenario. The good news is , although you will be persecuted you will not be left alone. You will be struck down but you will not be destroyed. Our God will always be there for you. Arise and shine again
🙏🏽 Blessed day🙏🏽
