Victory in Distress
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.
~ Micah 7:8
"This may express the feeling of a man or woman downtrodden and oppressed. Our enemy may put out our light for a season, but if we are trusting in the Lord and holding fast our integrity, our season of downcasting and darkness will soon be over. The insults of the foe are only for a moment. The Lord will soon turn their laughter into lamentation, and our sighing into singing.
What if the great enemy of souls should for a while triumph over us, as he has triumphed over better men than us, yet let us take heart, for we shall overcome him before long. We shall rise from our fall, for our God has not fallen, and He will lift us up. We shall not abide in darkness, although for the moment we sit in it, for our Lord is the fountain of light, and He will soon bring us a joyful day."

LORD, THANK YOU FOR HELPING US UP WHEN WE FALL. THANK YOU FOR NOT ALLOWING OUR ENEMIES AND YOUR ENEMIES TO BOAST AND LAUGH ABOUT OUR DOWN FALLS. THANK YOU FOR RAISING US UP OUT OF THE DARKNESS AND BRINGING US INTO THE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO OVERCOME THE DARKNESS. THIS WE PRAY IN JESUS CHRIST' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN.
