LET'S DE-STRESS WITH PROMISES



"For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, 
to the glory of God through us."
~ 2 Corinthians 1:20 NKJV

Isn't it amazing how stress overwhelms us when people make promises and fail to follow through?

We slip quite easily into pity parties and prolonged periods of stress, standing on those promises of families, friends, and colleagues. 

Let's be honest, here, okay? Every promise is not created equal; and every person does not always honor his/her word.
 
Bounced from one stress to another. . .and another. . .and another,  stress survivors have discovered whose promises to depend on. 

The words in 2 Corinthians 1:20 assure us that God's promises are "YES" and "AMEN." 

Those steadfast, immovable, and always abounding promises of God are absolutely real. Always. God's promises are our supernatural doors to de-stress . . . our ultimate lifeline in times of mega stress.  

We can depend on God. If He's promised "it"--whatever it is--we need not worry; we need not stress. God, The All-Powerful One, will manifest His glory of "YES" and "AMEN." 

Peace I leave with you . . .

Have you not known?

Have you not heard?

The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends
of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is
unsearchable.

He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might
He increases strength.

Even the youths shall faint
and be weary,
And the young men
shall utterly fall,

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up
with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31 (NKJV)



Peace I leave with you . . .

LET'S DE-STRESS WITH OUR WORDS


"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..."
Proverbs 18:21 

HASN'T THERE BEEN days when someone spoke the very words we needed to hear?

Can't we recall times and situations when people eased our stress, simply by something they said? 

Surely, we can remember incidents when someone's unpleasant or offensive words left us sad and stressed.

Be not deceived, words are extremely powerful. They can heal, and they can hurt. Words can be priceless, and they can be painful. 
 
Proverbs, the Bible's book on life, teaches that "death and life are in the power of the tongue." 

Plain and simple, kind and considerate words can enhance life and give it great meaning; whereas harsh and heartless words can destroy life's joy and cause unbelievable stress.

Stress survivors uphold the power of words and the difference they can make. There's been many times when someone's soothing words chased our stresses away.

Again, be not deceived, for we can't know what powerful de-stress the tongue possesses . . . until we actually try it.



Peace I leave with you . . .
