Under Pressure

Nov '18
Satan is on the move every day. He tries to weave circumstances into our daily routine to trap us, to throw us into the chaos of feeling annoyed, stressed, and under pressure. Satan likes to destroy our peace and make us feel unworthy of God’s forgiveness. He sets doubt in our minds and and tries to slowly destroy our confidence.
God is so much more powerful than satan. When we stand with God, satan crumbles. We live in a fallen world because of sin. Satan likes to believe he has the upper hand, but he’s no match for God. When we sin, God offers us forgiveness. We will sin, we will feel the pressures of this world, we will be tempted. Satan will lay guilt on us. He works at destroying our faith in God.
We can feel peace with God. When we feel the worldly pressures, we have to cling tight to our Savior. When we fall in our walk with Him, we have to get back up, brush off satan’s grip, and put our armor back on. God wants us to be strong and courageous. He understands our pressures. We have a Savior who is always waiting there to pick us up again. We only have to be willing to come back to Him.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ESV
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying His voice and holding fast to Him, for He is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Isaiah 26:3 NKJV
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
