Less Stressed


We heard in one of the 40 Days in the Word video devotions that with Christ we can sleep, Happy and blessed and a whole less stressed. I like that, don’t you? The problem is how to achieve it. Through the Word of course!

Everything starts with a relationship with Jesus. We are promised that the Holy Spirit will come and live in us to help, counsel, and guide us. But it is through His Word that we can read it and understand it.

Look at Psalm 119:25-32: I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word. I gave an account of my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Cause me to understand the way of your precepts that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds. My soul is weary with sorrow;   strengthen me according to your word. Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law.  I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, LORD; do not let me be put to shame.  I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.

God is able to give you all these things. Take Him at His Word.

Be wise today and always – be strengthened through the Word.
