This concept appears in various contexts throughout Scripture, illustrating the challenges and trials faced by individuals and communities. 1. Physical Pressing: · In the literal sense, "pressed" can refer to physical pressure or crowding. For example, in the Gospels, Jesus often found Himself pressed by the crowds seeking His teaching and healing. In <a href="/luke/8-45.htm">Luke 8:45</a> , when the woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus' garment, He asked, "Who touched Me?" Peter responded, "Master, the crowds are pressing against You and crushing You." 2. Emotional and Spiritual Pressure: · The Bible also uses "pressed" to describe emotional or spiritual burdens. In <a href="/2_corinthians/1-8.htm">2 Corinthians 1:8</a> , Paul writes, "We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life." Here, Paul describes being pressed beyond his strength, highlighting the intense trials he faced in his ministry. 3. Moral and Ethical Pressure: · The concept of being pressed can also relate to moral and ethical dilemmas. In the account of Daniel, he and his friends were pressed to conform to the Babylonian culture and abandon their faith. <a href="/daniel/1-8.htm">Daniel 1:8</a> states, "But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine." Despite the pressure, Daniel remained steadfast in his convictions. 4. Divine Pressing: · Sometimes, God allows His people to be pressed to refine and strengthen their faith. In <a href="/isaiah/48-10.htm">Isaiah 48:10</a> , God says, "See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction." This pressing serves a divine purpose, molding believers into vessels fit for His use. 5. Pressing in Prayer: · The Bible encourages believers to press into God through prayer, especially during times of trial. In <a href="/luke/22-44.htm">Luke 22:44</a> , during His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus "prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground." This intense moment of pressing in prayer exemplifies the depth of communion with God that believers are called to seek. 6. Pressing Toward the Goal: · The Apostle Paul uses the imagery of pressing on in the Christian life. In <a href="/philippians/3-14.htm">Philippians 3:14</a> , he writes, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus." This pressing is a metaphor for the perseverance and dedication required in the pursuit of spiritual maturity and eternal reward. The theme of being pressed in the Bible serves as a reminder of the various pressures faced in life, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. It also underscores the importance of relying on God's strength and grace to endure and overcome these challenges.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Press.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4973.htm">4973. sphragis -- a seal, a signet</a> ... seal attests, the proof.
