Michael Knoll-Theme: Are We Wearing Pressure Well?
We are all enrolled in the school of the spirit—learning about God everyday till we pass away. We are like newly planted trees, that need steaks to hold them up. We need the bible as a base and foundation and seasoned Christians to support us. We are three part beings body mind and soul. Everyday life equals pressure and it takes a heavy toll on the physical body as well as the spiritual. The pressures of life affect our bodies in different ways. We face pressure in the natural and we face pressure in the spiritual. It is not easy being a christian, yet the verses below help us put everything in perspective, the trials of this life are temporal. Yet Christ is eternal and our inheritance in heaven is worth it all.
2 Corinthians 4:5-18
16-18 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
We are all part of a spiritual war taking place in the heavenlies and we need to fight spiritual warfare with prayer and scripture (Ephesians 6:10-18). We may wear pressure well in the natural-- but there is only one answer for the pressure that builds in our soul; full surrender to God, just like Christ showed on the cross, saying to the Father not my will but thy will be done. (Matthew 26:36-42)
