Survival Under Pressure

In the deep of the ocean it is impossible for a man to walk on the floor of the ocean without a special pressurized suit. Have you ever wondered how the fish are able to swim even deeper than man is able to go with a special suit. Simply put, the fish have the same pressure inside as out. Sometimes the pressures of daily life can buildup inside until we feel as if we are about to blow up. We feel as if we have no way to vent or let off steam. Sometimes when the pressure builds and people vent it can turn into a real bad situation.
If we attempt to meet life’s challenges with human effort alone, we will find the pressures and temptations around us too great to resist. We might feel such great pressure in one area of our life that nothing else seems to matter and we lose our perspective. How easy it is to give in to the crowd and let ourselves be pressured into doing wrong. Don’t get in a situation where it will be too embarrassing to do what is right. Determine to do what is right, no matter how embarrassing or painful it may be. Getting through that short term pressure-filled moment is often the most difficult part of overcoming a temptation. Standing firm to the end is not a way to be saved but the evidence that a person is really committed to Jesus.


You will never have a need or situation come up in life that God is not prepared for.
