In the vise

In the vise

Do you ever feel like life has you "in the vise"?

Pressure from all sides:

Bills

Commitments

Lack of sleep

Stressed family relationships

Uncertain future

The list goes on and on.

I think we all end up "in the vise" from time to time.

So, how do you handle it?

Here is what I believe and what I witnessed from Dad.

When you are "in the vise," take some time to be still and listen.

God's silence is evidence of something big. Struggling in

the vise makes it worse.

Have faith in the One Who created the universe. He knows

what's going on and He is big enough to handle it.

Focus only on what you CAN do and leave the rest up to Him.

If you know someone who is in the vise, send them a note and let

them know you are with them. When you are in the vise, friends

who care make all the difference. I know. I have been in the

vise more than once.

You are Born To Win, so go ahead and Live To Win!

P.P.S. For our theologian friends - True, God can do it without our help,

but I think He likes it when we, out of love and obedience, do our part.
