2 Corinthians 4: 8We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

It is so easy to read this and see nothing but the negative: troubled, perplexed, persecuted, and cast down. In this world there are challenges, the difference between believers and the world is that we know our outcome is victorious. While others are struck down, troubled, and persecuted, we are not destroyed, not distressed, nor forsaken. We always win!

Psalms 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
