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 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  . . .        

LET'S DE-STRESS AND PROSPER

The word "PROSPER" is, in de-stress terms, used too vaguely.  

Although we understand prosper means to succeed . . . gain . . . become more and more successful, some seem to be confused in doing this. And here's where stresses flourish. 

Taking the meaning of the word out of context and attempting to prosper "by whatever means necessary," is a sure path to agitation, frustration, and all sorts of stress. 

Our aim to prosper by any means contrary to God's Word is a fatal attraction to stress. Regardless of what others do, stress survivors believe in de-stressing by the Book-The Good Book-God's Word. 

Let's de-stress and prosper as we disclose a powerful de-stress principle from God's Word in Psalm 1:1-3.

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. 

Peace I leave with you . . .
