I really don't like stress in any way. There are times we go through stress even when we do our best to avoid it. But many times, stress in the real sense comes from our mindset. What do I mean?
When you know without a doubt in any form that the outcome of whatever you're doing would end up in victory, your mind feels relaxed. This is different from the person who assumes he would end up in victory. No matter how much theory he creates, there is still the stress factor involved. How is this any different?
Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord."
The verse says the man who trusts in the Lord, and has his hope in the Lord is blessed. Why is this so? God has plans and to think of God carrying out His plans always imply victory. We cannot imagine God not having victory when He carries out His plan. It is so serious that the mere thought of failure in any form even when you know He is forever victorious, we consider it an insult to God. This is because God is Him and Him alone. Perfection is an understatement to His person, and expressing His excellence cannot be fathom with human understanding. So, where am I heading here?
Whatever God intends to carry out here on earth, He goes through man. The man who chooses to trust and hope in God is actually expressing God by carrying out His plan, because to trust and hope in God is to be led by His Holy Spirit.
The funny thing about this is that anyone who chooses to trust and hope in God is actually seeing the desires of his heart coming to pass.
Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart."
Why is it when we delight ourselves in the Lord that we see the desires of our heart come to pass? The reason is that God designed us that our existence is actually to fulfill His plan, which is why when we delight ourselves in God we then see that what we desire the most is actually found by trusting and hoping in God in delight. And when you know who God is, you are always sure of absolute victory.
This is why the man who meditates on the word of God day and night always experience prosperity in everything he does just because he is walking on a flawless path (ref.: Psalms 1:1-3)
So, the only reasonable thing to do is just to trust and hope in God, and allow Him to lead you because again He knows the plan better than you do, and He knows the end from the beginning. He is a stress free life I assure you.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
