2 Corinthians 4:9
We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.
I am feeling hunted this morning. At work I feel like “Big Brother” is watching every move I make so he can pounce on any small mistake to use against me. And now, I get that feeling at home, too. I haven’t felt like this since I was a child. It’s really frustrating because I can’t ask the questions I want to ask or make the observations that I want to make. So, I’m praying for God’s grace and patience in the situation. This verse spoke to my heart because God doesn’t abandon me. He’s not like the watchful, vengeful spirits or people that are just waiting for something to comment on or use to make a point. He doesn’t lay in wait for me to make a mistake or do something he doesn’t like. He is always there and doesn’t leave me when I’m in a precarious position. When I feel crushed under the weight of the fishbowl, He is there to give me His support so that I can get back up and keep going. That’s what I need now.
