“Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.” (Micah 7: 8)

We never need to give up. We are not victims to hate, to fear, to circumstances, to time, to mortal life and its trials. We are God’s own beloved, made to thrive and to grow. God is always with us to show us why we truly can’t be beaten, why we are worthy of winning.

So, we can look at who or what seems to be enemies of ours and be strong in our conviction that evil can’t win. There may be times when we fall or falter, lose hope or feel doubt, but these moments can’t keep us down. God’s light is in us and with us. His encouragement is more than a pep talk. It is an infusion of Life—of the reality of our being—into us, to revive us and inspire us.

Those dark times are not a sign of our end. They may be pauses for reflection—perhaps in order to consciously let go of our ego or of our belief in vulnerability. In these trying experiences we can take a breath and know that we can’t be kept down when the Almighty is always lifting us up.
