PRESSED ON ALL SIDES
Hi dear reader and friend,
It’s another Saturday diet blog and today we are discussing “Pressed on all sides”.
Life has a lot of seasons, but the most heart-wrenching time and season, is when it seems everything has turned against you and you’re pressed on all sides.
To understand what it means to be pressed on all sides, I will share 3 case scenarios;
- Imagine the story of Job in the Bible who lost all his children and business in one day. To cap it all he had a dreaded skin disease that kept him as an outcast from his home. The wife told him to curse God and die. His friends accused him of sin. He was truly pressed on all sides.
- Imagine Jesus Christ the last night before crucifixion, he wanted his friends to stand by him but everyone deserted and denied him. Those that just sang his praises a few days ago were the same people that wanted him dead at all cost.
- I have been pressed on all sides a couple of times in my life journey, most of the time the people I love most have deserted and left me. It usually seems like the end of the world.
BUT if you can just hold on to your confession of faith and the relationship you have with God; I can assure you – YOU WILL COME OUT ON TOP
- Job recovered Double
- Jesus the name above all other names seats at the right hand of God.
- I’m here writing to you all from the place of victory.
Yes it’s possible to be pressed on all sides and overcome. But there are steps you need to take to achieve such turn around that brings about success.
- Don’t murmur, hold onto your confession of faith.
- Praise God through it all
- Forgive and pray for those that have hurt you
- When victory comes, don’t boast.
I hope this comforts and gives you strength. See you on the other side called – VICTORY.
Love,
