Defeat.

Lamentations 5:17 "Our hearts are sick and weary,
and our eyes grow dim with tears."

Do you ever have one of those days when you feel completely and utterly defeated?

That is exactly how I am feeling today.

I know my current troubles are no big deal in the eternal perspective and I know that God will always provide for me.
But sometimes life just gets to me.

I just need to remind myself today that God is in control and he cares about every detail of my life {and yours!}.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 "We are pressed on every side by troubles,
but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don't give up
and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked
down, but we get up again and keep going. Through suffering, these
bodies of ours constantly share in the death of Jesus so that the life of
Jesus may also be seen in our bodies."
