WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  PRESSURE

Have you ever seen a bottle of soda that was shaken and then opened? What happens? Pressure builds up from the shaking and the contents explode with force. This is what happens to human beings when they have been shaken by circumstances in life. The pressure keeps building until we explode in frustration, anger or fear.

What would happen to that same bottle if instead of opening it after it had been shaken if it is set down on a table. Given a little time, the pressure will calm. It will not explode when opened up.

The definition of pressure is compression, constraint and stress.  Constraint is a limitation or restriction.

Life at times can be full of pressure. Our normal day to day routine gets violently shaken and we find ourselves under pressure to find balance again. But God is in control like a master potter he shapes our lives. He knows just how much pressure we can take. He will only allow what we can handle with his help.

I Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

God makes a way of escape for us when temptation and difficult times come to shake us to our core. Before we explode, we need to sit down and be quiet. Maybe turn on some worship music. Sit quietly, praising the Lord. Allowing God’s peace to wash over us. As we worship, it will draw his presence.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

God is our refuge and strength; he is our help in trouble. When the pressure of life starts to build and we aren’t sure which way to go we can always turn to God. He will be our strength.

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; 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.

God often says in his word to not be afraid or discouraged. He will strengthen us and give us peace. The next time life comes at you and the pressure builds, that is a sign that you need God’s peace. We must be still and allow God to guide our path.Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
