Today’s Scripture

"If we are suffering hardship, it is for your encouragement and salvation. Or if we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which produces in you the patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer. Our hope for you is firm, since we know that as you are partners in our sufferings, so also in our encouragement. For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our trouble that happened in Asia. We were under great pressure—so far beyond our strength that we despaired even of living. In fact, we had within ourselves the death sentence—so that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead."

2 Corinthians 1:6-9

Today’s Thought

If you don’t like the spotlight, go sit in the shade! Life is full of pressure and the only way to success is through the pain and pressure. Remember the only way to the top is through the process of pressure. Once you leave the pressure you're out of the process.

Today’s Confession

Father, thank You for reminding me that pressure is part of the process. You are with me in every struggle, shaping my endurance. I rely on Your strength and not my own. Through pressure, You are producing something greater in me.
