9/29/2010 - Proverbs 24:10 The Pressure Test

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 24:10 If you fail under pressure, your strength is too small.

OBSERVATION: The measure of your strength is not how we manage when times are easy but when times are tough. When we "pop off" during times of stress we want others to believe that this is not what we are really like. The truth is that stress reveals the true us and our lack of true strength. This is not to condemn us but to send us running back in desparation to the only source of true strength we have--God Himself.

APPLICATION: I am living through a time of real pressure and stress and I recognize that it is a test of my true strength--not how strong I am personally but how well I have learned to run to God and to access His strength. The evidence suggests that I still have some growing to do--but at least I know where to go and who to look to.

PRAYER: You are my strength, Oh God. In this moment of stress and pressure, I choose to find my strength in You. Thank You that You are there for me.
