I’ve heard it said that if you want to know what’s inside someone, see how they respond under pressure. Because true colors are often shown when someone is stressed or under fire. Whatever is on the inside tends to come out when we’re squeezed.
“Though the crop fails, and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep or cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God my Savior.” Habakkuk 3:18
I’m challenged by that verse. Because joy doesn’t always come out of me when I’m squeezed.
I want faith, hope and trust to ooze out of me….in the good, the bad and in the squeeze.
Are you feeling the heat today? Does life feel like it is squeezing the life right out of you? It happens to all of us.
Try this: Take a deep breath and thank God, your Savior…..not for anything other than that….that He has saved you. Gratitude. Worship. Thanksgiving. It just may change what comes out of you next. Rejoice in the Lord. Even in the squeeze. – Sandi
