God's Solution for Stress!
If ever
we lived in time of STRESS it is now. Never has there been
so much anger, fighting, fears and even suicides as it is today.
Even Christians are finding it so stressful. In this life that
even provides things that we older ones never dreamed was
possible, let alone having these ‘things’ a few years ago.
Sometimes we forget the simplicity of the answers God gives us
in His Word.
Here is a
short simple sermon in 3 points.
1. Pray
right...
Consider and ponder the ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’ It is so simple,
yet it begins with OUR FATHER. He cares for you. He wants a
personal relationship with you. To give you peace, joy etc.
- Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
A. Safety consists not in the absence of danger but in the presence of
God.
2. Think
right.
- 1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord,
that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
A. We do this by being filled with His Spirit and His Word.
3. Live
right.
- Philippians 4:6-9 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things.
A. Let me close with this, let us, take up our cross daily and follow
him. We will find that following Him that we will find rest and
peace.
B. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 1 Peter
5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Peace that
Jesus gives is not the absence of trouble, but is rather the
confidence that He is there with you always.
God bless you and
yours.
On behalf of this generation,
Your friends in the service of Christ,
