Day 75 of 365

Pressed but Not Crushed

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Troubled but not distressed. Perplexed but not in despair. Persecuted but not forsaken. Paul was not pretending life was easy. He was saying that pressure has a limit when God is in it. You can bend without breaking.

Try This Today

Write down the thing pressing hardest on you right now. Underneath it, write: 'Pressed, but not crushed.' Put it somewhere you will see it all day.
