DAY 95
If You Falter in Adversity
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
הִתְרַפִּיתָ בְּיוֹם צָרָה צַר כֹּחֶכָה
📜 THE VERSE
If you falter in the day of trouble, how small is your strength.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
On hard days, do I only blame myself as weak for buckling?
📝Reflection
I long misread this verse, thinking it scolded me for despair. Looking again, it is a plain observation: strength shows not in calm but on the day of trouble. On quiet days anyone looks strong. Real strength is known when the wind blows hard — the fierce wind reveals the sturdy grass. There is no way but to build, a little each day, the strength to hold on once more on the day you feel you might break.

Do not dodge one small difficulty today — hold on once more. That holding builds muscle for the next storm.
