Topic: When the Pressure Is On
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. – Malachi 3:16
Have you ever noticed that those with the most exciting, faith-inspiring testimonies have been under pressure at some time? They’re the people who stayed faithful when the pressure was on. They’re the people who believed God’s promises of prosperity amid desperate financial situations or trusted God for healing in the face of a terminal disease.
My friend, when you get into a tricky spot, that’s not the time to back out on God and begin to say, “Well, God, why did You let this happen to me?” It’s not the time to step back and re-evaluate His faithfulness.
What I’m saying to you is this: When tough times keep dragging on, and the situations around you seem to refuse to align with God’s promises, evaluate God! He’s not missing it, and He’s not failing.
If you’re going to re-evaluate anything, re-evaluate yourself! Look and see where you may need to improve. If you still can’t find the problem, just say, “God, I don’t know what’s wrong here, and I’m asking You to show me. But one thing I know, the problem’s not with You, and I continue to be moved by Your Word and not by circumstances.” Then, when He reveals something to you, quickly make changes.
I encourage you to stand firm and honor God with your words. The Lord is listening to you when the pressure is on. What is He going to hear?
Scripture Reading: Psalm 62

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior is one of the best decisions one can take, especially you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
