PRESSURE

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”–Philippians 4:6-7   I just read those verses, as well as vss.8-13. Since I’m familiar with them I didn’t need to read them, but I did because I needed to do so. Make sense? Probably not—but it made perfectly good sense to me. Guess I had better explain.   This is one of those days when, for a number of reasons and some I can’t even explain, the pressure seems unbearable (and you thought preachers always have their act together–lol). I’ll bet you’ve had days like this. It just might be that you’re having one right now. It might be one of those days when there’s a lot to do, not enough time to do it, and you don’t feel like even trying. It’s not fun is it!   But the truth is that we need days like this. We need tough times because they drive us to our knees in utter dependance upon God. Difficult days make us aware of our limitations and forces us to look to God for help. Regardless of our problems peace is possible in Christ, but it happens only if we do as He commands.   Hey, I’m feeling better already! I’ve still got a ton of things to do, and I might not get half of it done, but that’s all right. Unless God dies I plan to have a great day! I hope you do to.———-Oh, by the way, I wrote this yesterday morning and God didn’t die! Now you have a good day. He is still alive!
