We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9 NLT

Remember Weebles? I am not asking about The Wiggles (annoying Australian children's singing group with a daily TV show) I am asking about the toy that never fell down. "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." They were not very big, hard plastic "people" with a rounded bottom so if you push them they would always come back to the upright position..... I am also reminded of another toy 'o old (just made up another word). The inflatable clown punching bag. Smack that sucker as hard as you could and it would always come back to the upright position. Only real way to take that toy down would be to cut it.....but that's another story for another time isn't it?

The comparison is simple and clear with God we are and can be resilient even when we are spent/weak/discouraged....out of juice/cash/energy/options.

We get knocked down but we are not destroyed.
