Pressure, Pressure Everywhere What To Do, Oh! Dear!
Dear friends,
Do you feel and are experiencing pressure and the feeling of terror from everywhere? Pressures from the job, family, health, from families problems about your finances and world problems? What to do? Oh! Dear!
I know, because I am going through some of these same feelings! What to do? Here are what God shares with us in his Word. Paul and the Christians in Corinth were going through pressures in the city and bad news from the church and about riots in Ephesus -Acts 19:23-41.
Here what Paul answers to dealing with these pressures?
2 Corinthians 1:8-10 “For we would not brethren have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life; But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves but in God, who raiseth the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us.”
What he saying here is this, trust in the Lord! Not in yourselves! You have got to take the focus off you and focus on Him! Because of the resurrection! The same power that rose Jesus and others from the dead, that same power from God, will help you through the pressures of life you are facing today! He will help you and He will deliver you!
So, here in these passages the apostle Paul is stating that they were in trouble in Asia but they will continue to trust In God for their protection and deliverance!
Dear friends, God will help you through your pressures you are facing today! Just put all your trust in Him, and off of yourself and the world, turn your eyes away from the world and look to Jesus!
Say with me, Dear Jesus, help me today, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart! Heal me Jesus and help me! In Jesus name, Amen!
I
