Hello Everyone,
Today I want to talk about something that has been in my spirit for a little while. Are there things in your life that you are believing God to make happen? Maybe you are trying to lose weight, get out of debt or make better grades. It's possible you are dealing with something even much more serious - a loved one who you want to know Christ, deliverance from drugs or something else. That's what I want to deal with today.
Have you ever worked hard on something and don't really see results? You say, I have tried to study more or I have tried to lose that weight and no matter what I do, it won't come off? Are you feeling pressured to quit the diet, quit studying, stop believing for your loved one? Well we have all been there. I know I have. That pressure is really heavy right? On top of that, nothing seems to be moving right?
Well there is a law in physics that says something like every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When you push down on a table, the pressure you put on it will actually cause you to rise. But if you increase the pressure you are putting on that table, it may look like nothing is happening. So you push down some more and still nothing happens. Then you push even harder and nothing happens. You keep increasing the pressure and finally you hear the table legs start to creek and this encouragement causes you to put even more pressure on the table. Why hasn't the table broken? It is putting as much pressure back on you as you are putting on it.
But at some point, if you keep increasing the pressure, the table will buckle. One minute you are pushing on it and it is pushing back on you. The next minute the table is not able to exert enough pressure back on you to stand and it falls.
That's the way it is with the problems in life. The reason we don't see immediate victory is because our problems are pressuring us but guess what, there is no movement. That means we are putting pressure on our problem! If we keep it up, sooner or later, the problem will buckle because it can't handle the pressure you are putting on it.
So I want to encourage you. If you are trying to loose weight, keep at it. You might not see the results you want immediately but keep pressuring your pressure. Those pounds will come off. If you want to get out of debt, keep the pressure on your debt. It will leave.
If you are using your faith and believing God to bring a loved one into the kingdom or something else in your life then keep at it. To use a line from a song I heard the Crabb family sing, "Just hold on. My God will show up and He will take you through the fire again!"
Well, I've blogged myself happy again. That's another Opinion of the Minion.
