LET'S DE-STRESS WITH GREAT REWARD


WHO, among us, would not welcome a great reward?

Strangely enough, everyone wants some sort of reward.   

Our wonderful world is consumed by strong and serious seekers of great rewards--failure to accomplish or to qualify for certain rewards can create various forms of stress.

Let's de-stress with great reward from a passage of Psalms.

The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul;
The testimony of he Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 19:7-ll NKJV  


Peace I leave with you . . .

LET'S DE-STRESS MINI


Though we have no simple solution for stress,
God gives us supernatural de-stress.

LET'S DE-STRESS WITH PRINCIPLES

And whatever he does shall prosper.
Psalm 1:3

Pure and pleasant de-stress requires certain principles -- most definitely with our desire to prosper.   

Countless stresses are encountered every second of every day, by those seeking to prosper without God's authentic principles.

Let's de-stress with principles designed to prosper from the Book of Psalms.  

Blessed is the man 
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:1-3, NKJV



Peace I leave with you . . .

LET'S DE-STRESS DEVOTIONAL


"You say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have
 gained me this wealth.' You shall remember the Lord your God,
for it is He who gives you power to get wealth."
~ Deuteronomy 8:17-18

LET'S DE-STRESS MINI


True prosperity isn't acquired by our hands;
It's as our hearts follow God's plan.

LET'S DE-STRESS AND PROSPER


 "...it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11. 

If we'd ask a million people what's the main thing they recommend for a prosperous year, we'd most likely get a million different answers.

Generally, no two thoughts are alike. Sometimes similar, but not the same. And if one's thoughts indeed generate one's words, then, yes, it's bound to be a difference in what's said. 

As much as stress survivors desire to see good in every one and to willingly extend benefits of doubt, our stress-filled experiences have convinced us that relying on the word of others often causes stress

But countless blessings of peace and provision and protection that we witness from God's Word, prove--unquestionably--that we can trust Him and prosper through His Word.

Let's de-stress and prosper from God's Word in Isaiah 55:8-11. 
          
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,"
says the Lord.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways.
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain comes down, 
And the snow from heaven,
And do not return there, but water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."



Peace I leave with you  . . .

Whatever circumstance we choose to change,
we must first believe that we can.

LET'S DE-STRESS THIS NEW YEAR

  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God.
~ John 1:1

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Again, we stand at the threshold of a new beginning. . . New resolutions.  New stresses.

Stress survivors are among the first to admit that New Year's resolutions can create enormous stress.  Statistics reveal that 93% of all who make resolutions fail to achieve them.  Indeed, it's stressful when we fall short of our resolve. 

Let's de-stress this New Year and fortify our resolutions with wisdom from the Book of John. . .  
         
    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
   was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him,
   and without Him nothing was made that was made."      (John 1:1-3)                                                                                                                          
What is a New Year, if not a new beginning with God?  

"All things" have their beginning with God, and "nothing" is ever successful without Him . . . not our prized possessions--monetary matters--lofty goals--loving relationships--good health--or any other essentials of a wonderful life.    

Because stress survivors believe that God is the source of all things new--and prosperous--and excellent, we anticipate many meaningful moments this year. We're pleased to believe that God's Word is the beginning of our de-stress.

That's why we resolve to greet this 2013 New Year with a peaceful approach, believing that every beginning of every existence in every area of our lives, begins with GOD. 


Peace I leave with you . . .
