Day 2: Pressed But Not Crushed

Paul did not write this from a comfortable place. He wrote it from prison, beaten, shipwrecked, abandoned by friends. He knew pressure. He knew confusion. He knew what it felt like to be struck down. But he also knew that none of it had the final word. You can be hard pressed without being crushed. You can be perplexed without being in despair. The pressure is real. But so is the God who sustains you through it.
