Living Under Pressure - Depression




Job 3:1-26


After God let the hedge down and allowed Satan to attack Job, his family and his possessions, God restored to Job more than he had in the beginning. Boils were on his body, his children and possessions were destroyed. His wife, supposingly his better half, told him to curse God and die.

Looking closely at Job in chapter 3, we see him as going through a state of depression.  He cursed everything: the day he was born and so on.  He never curse God. He was a man of integrity and loved God, His maker and Creator.

Job said of God, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."

"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."


How do we act, react and interact with other while we are under pressure?

Romans 12:2, Tells us about renewing our mind.
Romans 8:7 says, " A carnal mind is enmity against God."
Isaiah 26:3 says,  "If we keep our mind stayed on God, he will keep us in perfect peace."

Philippians 4:8, Tells us to think on good things to renew our minds.


Let's continue to transform our minds to heavenly things- until we meet again soon.
