Crushed & Pressed Down

We feel the pressures of this life.
We are squeezed and rushed as
we handle the daily requirements
of our lives.

I noticed three Old Testament verses
that contained Strong's H2115 - Zuwr
= to thrust, together, crush; to press,
squeeze, crush, press down and out;
to close up (of a wound)

This first scripture shows us the physical
level of the word when the water was pressed
or squeesed out from the fleese.

Judges 6:38    KJV
And it was so: for he rose up early on the
morrow, and thrust [H2115] the fleece
together, and wringed the dew out of
the fleece, a bowl full of water.


Anther example of physical crushing
came from the Q&A between Job and
His Creator. It shows how the Creator
did not give wisdom to every creature.

Job 39:15    KJV
And forgetteth that the foot may crush
[H2115] them, or that the wild beast
may break them.


Finally, we read how the daughter of
Zion have provoked the anger of the
Holy One of Israel. As a result, their
rebellion was besieged as their wounds
were left unhealed.

Isaiah 1:6    KJV
From the sole of the foot even unto the head
there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and
bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not
been closed [H2115], neither bound up, neither
mollified with ointment.


Let us turn again to Him who shines His
Light into our hearts. Let us seek Him in
the day while there is still yet time ledt to
us. Let us not forget His promises and lean
on Him for our daily strength to fight the
good fight.
