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 . . .

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)




People make promises all the time and then fail to follow through.

It's sad but it's true. We sink easily into the nitty-gritty of stressfulness depending on the promises of unfaithful family and friends.

Let's not try and kid ourselves. Every promise is not created equal; Every person does not honor his/her word.

Bouncing from one stress to another, many of us learned the hard way whose promises we could depend on.

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

Those steadfast, immovable, always abounding promises of God are the stress-survivors ultimate life line.

We can depend on God. If He has promised "it" -- whatever it is -- we need not worry; we need not stress. We hold on just a little while longer to that "YES" and "AMEN."



Peace I leave with you . . .
