Handle the Pressure!!!

All around us we see and deal with pressure all the time.  From our early years as a child and as we age and go throughout life.  Some pressures we put on ourselves and others just come from everyday life and struggles.  The pressures can be very tiny to huge gigantic pressures, but no matter what we face them everyday.  Everyday we make the decision to either give in to the pressure and let it consume us or fight past it and keep pushing forward.  Some of us just can't get past the everyday pressures of life and we end up dealing with headaches or turning to substances.  Then, we look around and see other people that we know are dealing with everyday pressures of life, but they walk around with their head up high and smiling.  We think to ourselves how in the world is this person smiling right now?  What makes them just not to be phased by the pressures of life?  It is simple when you put your worries in God's hands you have nothing to stress about.  That is the wonders of being a citizen in His kingdom.  He is the King of the Kingdom and when you become a citizen of His Kingdom He will take care of you, as it is His duty as King to ensure that His citizens are taken care of.

While it is a simple concept to think that once I give all my worries to Him everything will be fine you find that some days are easier than others.  With all the pressures of life and seeing everything that is going on around you it is easy to operate in your flesh and let pressure bring you down.  What separates the ones from walking with their heads up high instead of down is realizing that its an everyday battle to fight your flesh and make a choice everyday to give it all to Him.  I know for me I have made that choice and I have to make it everyday to give all my life's pressures to Him, and by doing that I have experienced the most peace and joy I have ever experienced in my life.  The wonderful thing is that everyday it is your choice.  You are never forced into making this decision but if you do the rewards are amazing.  The choice is yours as you can either handle the pressures of life yourself or give it all to Him.
