Blessed but not crushed

persecuted not abandoned,struck down but not destroyed, I am blessed beyond the curse for His promise will endure and His joy will be my strength .... I wish I knew who wrote that song so I could credit them here. It is a praise and worship song and it often reminds me that though the enemy (satan) prowls around like a roaring lion, I am not his to take down! Trial will come as they may, they will serve to make me stronger, build me up, and strengthen my confidence in my Creator each time He delivers me from the enemy's snare but I will never be destroyed, never crushed ... ALWAYS BLESSED!

So I am still sick. I have confidence that this will only last for a season. It will not last forever, but for a season and through it God will teach me and show me more and more about His grace (unmerited favor), about His deliverance and about His mercy. I am His and He hides me in the shadow of the cleft. Thank you God!

So sorry I was not able to give reference to some of the quotes, the song a little bit of scripture. I will try to remember to look them up tomorrow.

Peace and Blessings,
sb
