PRESSURE

Do not be dismayed for I Am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Pressure will either make you or destroy you – it depends on how you react to it. The principle of pressure results in many of nature’s wonders. Carbon deposits in the depths of the earth respond to intense heat and pressure to produce diamonds. Many accomplishments in this century are the direct result of pressure; for example your automobile tire and the suspension bridge that spans rivers. Life itself depends on pressure – from the thrust of the unborn infant as he is born to the pressures that drive a businessman.

Some pressures are harmful. Pressures inflates the automobile tire, but too much destroys it. Pressure applied at the right stops bleeding, but pressure at the wrong place can take a life.

How about those intangible pressures in life? Hundreds of letters come to me telling about pressure – pressures in the business world, pressures that cause marriages to disintegrate and pressures that cause teens to throw good judgment to the wind in order to be accepted by their peers.

The pressures of life can either make you or break you. They can destroy us; but when we put pressures behind us, they can drive us closer to God.

God is not a crutch for weak people who cannot take the pressure. He is a loving Father who helps strengthen us to stand the press of life. Do not pray for less pressures, ask God for greater strength to bear them. All progress in life – physically and spiritually – would come to stand still apart from pressure. Put it to work for you as you take God as your partner in life and face the pressure.

God Bless YOU..
