Pressed - Talk Jesus

jskm · 11-21-08

...we were pressed out of measure, above strength insomuch that we despaired even of life... (2 Corinthians 1:8)

Pressed out of measure and pressed to all length;
Pressed so intensely it seems, beyond strength;
Pressed in the body and pressed in the soul,
Pressed in the mind till the dark surges roll
Pressure by foes, and a pressure from friends.
Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends

Pressed into knowing no helper but God;
Pressed into loving the staff and the rod.
Pressed into liberty where nothing clings;
Pressed into faith for impossible things.
Pressed into living a life in the Lord,
Pressed into living a Christ-life out poured

(From Streams in the Desert)

God is with us in every pressing trial. Cling to the Lord dear child of God. Pressed into the loving arms of our Lord and Saviour, pressed into a life filled by Him. Nothing could be better.

When He hath tried me I shall come forth as gold (Job 23:10)
