*GROW* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."* (John 16:33 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Jesus said, 'In the world, you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world'.
Firstly, the word 'tribulation', as used by Him also means 'pressure'. Secondly, He's shown us how to deal with these pressures: it's by fixing our gaze on His victory. When a believer starts losing his mind because of pressures, it's because his mind is not stayed on Christ. Pressures don't turn us into anything; they only reveal the true state of minds.
Peter exemplified this; Matthew 14:29-31 (KJV) tells the story: *"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"*
He saw the wind boisterous? How? He stopped focusing on Jesus. The moment he turned back his attention on Jesus, crying for help, he got back on track.
You can't always pay attention to every troubling issue around. You will have to let go of those issues and concentrate on the one that can fix those issues. This ability of zooming unto Jesus amid the distractions of pressure must be learned by practice. Until we grow into this ability, we will remain subject to the distracting presence of pressures.
_MEDITATION:_
*And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.* (Mark 4:18-19 (KJV))
