was created that has been created.

TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED

Too often we spend time with God in the morning then close our Bible and walk away. We forget to think about God, pray, meditate on Scripture, or worship the rest of the day. Then, because we continue our day on our own, we begin to feel stressed, anxious or even cranky.

God doesn't just want our morning. He wants our whole day. He wants us. What we need to be doing is to continually go back to God's Word throughout the day. To read a Scripture verse here and there, to talk to God as we go about our day, to sing praises and to give thanks.

One thing that helps is to have a small devotional on hand. Debora M. Coty has a new devotional that is perfect for a quick encouragement. Too Blessed To Be Stressed is 365 days of devotions. Each day has a Scripture verse, short devotion and short prayer. You could do 1 each day while eating a meal, waiting for the shower water heat up, waiting on the coffee pot, while stirring dinner, while vacuuming, in line at the store, in the doctor's waiting room, right before bed, the list is endless. Debora touches on everyday topics like relationships, love, boundaries, hope, brokenness and more.

Too Blessed To Be Stressed is a great devotional to help you stay connected to God throughout the day. Pick up a copy here.

Trial? Face It Head On {Giveaway}

We all know that this life is not easy. We know that trials come. They come and threaten to knock us down. Sometimes they do. Sometimes we feel like we are sinking and just can't get back up. I know right now you are thinking of your own trial, whatever it may be.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because,

having stood the test, that person will receive the crown

of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

James 1:12

That trial you are facing right now, press on. Don't give up. Persevere.

The Word even tells us blessed is the one who perseveres. We also have the sweet promise that He will be right beside us through the trial {Deut. 31:6}.

While in the middle of your trial, don't give up on God. Don't stop reading the Word, don't stop praying, don't stop giving thanks. As a matter of fact, read the Word more, pray more, give thanks more. Praise God in your storm. Praise Him while you wait on the answer or for the trial to be over. In due time, the trial will end and if you persevered, you will feel the blessings.

Remember friend, when the trial comes, face it head on!
