Yesterday and today are both days we can remember to celebrate veterans and Veterans' Day. Hopefully, we either recognized some current and past military men and women yesterday or we will have the opportunity today!

"We are pressed on every side by troubles,

but not crushed and broken.

We are perplexed because we don't know why things happened as they do,

but we don't give up and quit.

We are hunted down, but God never abandons us.

We get knocked down,

but we get up again and keep going."

~ 2 Corinthians 4:8 - 10 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Paul (writer) reminds us that though we may be at the end of our rope, we are never at the end of hope. Our perishable bodies are subject to sin and suffering, but God never abandons us. Because Christ won the victory over death, we have eternal life. All our risks, humiliations, and trials are opportunities to demonstrate Christ's power and presence in us."
