Topic: COPING WITH PRESSURE
Biblical Text: ‘ And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved; every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God ‘. [1 Samuel 30:6]
Pressure can arise from feeling overburdened by others expectation or when disappointed with happenings or the progress made in a task! A lot of people commit grave mistakes that have long lasting consequences when they are under pressure. Jephthah wanted to go to war, under pressure he vowed to sacrifice the first thing that comes from his house if God allowed him to defeat the children of Ammon. His daughter was the first person that came to meet him after God gave him deliverance from the children of Ammon. She was subsequently sacrificed. Do you know some people are suffering now because of an unfulfilled vow they made when under pressure? David was under pressure when they came to Ziklag and found that the city was burned with fire, and all their women and children were taken captive. Even his men wanted to stone him. Yet, the Lord gave David wisdom to cope with the pressure by putting total trust in God. The end result was that God told David to pursue after the Amalekites and that he will recover all. Brethren, we must learn to cope with pressure without committing sin or jeopardizing our future. Let us encourage ourselves in the Lord in the midst of a pressure and watch God give us victory.
