Overcoming the Pressures of Life
// David Shearin
JESUS SAID that in the world you would face pressure. This is because Satan is the god of this world, and he is always out to pressure, test, and tempt you.

What is the proper response to a crisis? As I was pondering this thought, several scriptures came to mind. Psalm 120:1 (NIV) says, "I call on the Lord in my distress, and he answers me." David was always experiencing crises in his life. As a shepherd, when he was protecting his sheep, he relied on God to
