I can’t believe I didn’t post on Friday!
That’s the first post that I missed for, well… years. I think that is actually the first weekday that the DB has not been published.
Very sorry for that, my morning schedule was greatly changed up at camp, and I completely forgot until late in the afternoon.
Oh well, just like in life, sometimes we make mistakes, and when we do, we pick up the pieces and just keep on going.
Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
…
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Corinthians 4 New International Version (NIV)
