Some defeats are only installments to victory. – Anon
The Israelites suffered a great deal in their migration from Egypt to the Promised Land, but they eventually made it. AMEN!
Setbacks, delays, losses. They happen to everyone. As far as human history can be studied no one has gone through life without them (remember, even Jesus laid down his life). We don’t like them and they seem to come at the most inopportune time, but come they do. Many times God allows defeat to come our way to get our attention and purposes refocused on his priorities. Because He cares so much for us He would rather have us taste defeat on this side of eternity and remain victorious in the end rather than lose it all. The key for us is not to get bent out of shape and upset with God for what He is trying to bring about. Remember, victory is assured!
Until tomorrow…..

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves….” – Hebrews 12:5-6
