Down, but not out. This powerful phrase really hits home when life throws its hardest punches.
Micah 7:8 reminds us, even in the darkest times, that we are never truly defeated: "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."
Troubles will come; it's guaranteed. But so is God's promise to be our light in the darkness, guiding us back to our feet. If you're feeling overwhelmed, remember, you're not alone. God is with you, ready to lift you from despair and shine light on your path.
