THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! CHOOSE “WITH”

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)

If someone told you that your problems would be over if you followed Christ, I’m sorry to tell you that they lied.

We continue to live in an imperfect world where humans do imperfect things.

We continue to make our spouse angry, marriages confront challenges, bodies get sick, love, money and power cause many injustices, etc.

But, remember the difference:

-Without Christ you are destroyed, but with Christ you are only temporarily knocked down.
– Without Christ you are crushed, but with Christ you are only pressed.
-Without Christ you are desperate, but with Him you are only chased, but never abandoned.
– Without God, your suffering produces bitterness and continuous defeat. With God, your suffering produces faith, hope, and continuous victory.

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)

Think about it:

Who or what have you placed your confidence and security in?
Has someone ever failed you, or have you lost something or someone who you trusted?
Do you lack peace?
