DE-STRESS FROM INSECURITY

       "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."

~ Numbers 13:30b NKJV

Remember the time when God commanded Moses to send men to spy out the land of Canaan, and to see what the land and the people were like? (Numbers Chapter 13) Remember how Moses specifically instructed the men to "be of good courage?"

Courage back then, same as now, was an essential characteristic for any undertaking of success. Quests of the unknown--then and now--sprout situations and stresses far too fierce to attempt a journey without courage. Definitely, a de-stress journey. 

Then, after 40 days, the men returned to Moses and the children of Israel with a bad report (stress), "The people who dwell in the land are strong . . .men of great stature--giants; and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."

Make no mistake, however courageous we think we are, is exactly the way we will be. Insecure and insignificant thinking confines us to "grasshopper" mentalities and, in turn, creates giant-sized stresses. No doubt, how we see ourselves is how others will too.

Stress survivors are convinced insecurity originates from within. Thus, we realize we must de-stress from insecurity from the inside out. While stress is without restrictions, de-stress requires courage. So to truly de-stress, it's imperative for us to have courage.  
Looking back, there stood one man before Moses and the people who didn't cower to insecurity stress. Caleb quieted the people (de-stress) and spoke differently than all the rest, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."

It matters not who we are, or how powerful our opposition may be--even when we're the minority of only one--if we want to eliminate insecurity stresses, we must, first, believe we can. Once we decide to de-stress from insecurity, we stand firm; stay focused; and steady our faith in God.  

Whatever the situation, stress survivors believe we are well able to overcome.
