Pressure

PRESSURE:

If you drop a raw carrot into a pot of boiling water, in a short matter of time, the carrot will become very soft and will bend when lifted out of the water.

If you drop an egg into a pot of boiling water, the inside will become very hard, and not easy to crack.

If you drop a coffee bean into a pot of boiling water, it will break open and change the whole make up of the water.

Think about these great acts of faith under extreme pressure. It wasn’t logic that caused Moses to raise his staff on the bank of the Red Sea. It wasn’t medical research that convicted Naaman to dip seven times in the river. It wasn’t common sense that caused Paul to abandon the Law and embrace grace. It wasn’t a confident committee that prayed in a small room in Jerusalem for Peter’s release from prison. To those mentioned above, there was no option for them—they acted in their faith.

The nature of the coffee bean is to influence boiling water in a positive way. Our nature should be to find a way to bring calmness and peace into an otherwise out of control situation.

Acts 16:25 “About Midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing songs to God as the other prisoners listened.”
