Good morning everyone! We had an amazing day yesterday. Our youth praise and worship band (5mm Agiyo Band) led worship for both morning services and God used them in such a mighty way. I am so very proud of seeing them serve God! brother Glenn brought the 8:30 message and did an amazing job. I was blessed to be able to bring the 11:00 message. Words cannot explain what God was doing in the service. Our missionaries from Africa got back the night before, problems happened before the service, the stress level for some was through the roof! But, check this out. This is when God shows up and shows out. This brings me to today's scripture. let's dig into the good stuff............
Listen, stress is nothing anything new. I bet Noah had it when he was building the ark with no rain in sight. I bet Martha had it when she was preparing a meal for our Lord. Stress is the space between all the stuff placed on us and the strength we have in taking care of that stuff. It is not a sin to be stressed out, nor a sin to be wore out. It is a sin, though, not to try to lessen that stress which tears down the temple of the Holy Spirit, your body. Where will you find your answer on how to do that? Here comes the good stuff......In waiting upon the Lord. Waiting in the middle of pulls of life. When you learn to wait on Him, God steps in to bridge the stress gap with His mighty strength. Do me a favor. Let's ask God to equip us to be a stress-busters today. Maybe, just maybe it will be your supervisor, husband, or wife that is "stressed out." Let's take the opportunity we have to share God's love. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
