Pressure Point!
"If you fail under pressure,
your strength is too small."
Proverbs 24: 10
The BBC recently interviewed boxer
Anthony Joshua about frustrations
of his career.
He said, “People create this narrative and
put
pressure on me. It’s too much. Gone are the
days when it was fun. I just want to be normal,
I don’t want to put myself under pressure.”
A lot of people can say the same about their
own
careers or lives. Our pressures increase.
Our responsibilities multiply. We feel distracted
and overwhelmed. Our “strength is too small.”
Take everything to the Lord and commit it all to
Him in prayer. Life becomes a drudgery when
we feel responsible to carry all our burdens
on
our shoulders and bear all our responsibilities
in our own strength.
Ask God to help you cut out the things
you must not be doing and to continue
doing what you must be doing in the
strength He gives, knowing that He
will strengthen you.
"When we come to the end
of ourselves, we come to
the beginning of God."
Billy
Graham
