WHY ALL THE PRESSURE?

I cheer you on.  Life has its ups and downs.  The ups?  We like.  The downs?  Um, not so much.

Therefore, since we all walk in the same type of sandals, I encourage you that all matters are geared to lead us to one...Person.  His name is Jesus.

All skill and education and promotion and inside track and whim and lead and connection to powers-that-be pale to great degree when under attack.  Little by little life takes its toll on our confidences.  What we had assumed would get us through eventually suffers setback.

Don't fret.

Don't roll your eyes in exasperation.

Yet, do realize each bump in the road is to break our dependence of self-provision that we might better be focused upon Jesus.  We must translate interruption into clarification.  Our hurts and pangs of irritation advantage us.  They tend to eliminate our self-confidence and promote Spirit-confidence.

Even, as Romans 5:1-5 clearly declares, our bad days are good days for those who believe Him.
