Pressed but not Crushed

A series of non-stop interruptions rule my life lately.

Matters ranging from important to trivial suck the time from my day faster than Superman's speeding bullet. Faster than the speed of light. Faster than me slurping down a chocolate shake. Almost.

Disruptions that can't be ignored, like
dog vomit...and worse...on the carpet. And they're not even our dogs.


Note: My folks call it "doggie doo-doo."  
But when it comes to my rugs it's definitely a "doggie don't-don't."

But as I knelt to perform a Lysol Carpet Baptismal Service, ancient words came to mind. The writer and his colleagues daily faced danger and possible death for sharing their beliefs. Paul wrote:

  "...since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up...
 

  ...We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord...
 
  •  We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.
    • We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 
  • We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. 
  • We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

  For our present troubles are small and won't last very long.
