Stress and anxiety
In our world that has so many demands on our time, our attention, stress is almost unavoidable isn’t it?
Stress and anxiety can take our eyes off the Truth and keep us growing in our faith and our trust in God and His Word.
Do you ever feel “stressed out?
How about being anxious or worrysome?
Scripture tells us not to worry (Mt6:25-34); it also tells us not to be anxious (Php4:6); but scripture also gives us a clear picture of stress management (Mt11:28-30).
Mt6:29-30
Mt6:
Life is more than food and clothing, god always provides
Worry cannot add to your life
God knows you need, so why worry
Seek Him first
Don’t sweat tomorrow
What do you see, what do you notice, what sticks out to you?
Come
Come, sounds easy doesn’t it?
Let us break it down to come.
Come to “Me” (Mt19:14; Mk10:21; Lk6:47; Lk14:26; Jn6:35-37)
So what does it mean to come to ME
Come as a child, for the kingdom belongs to such as these
Come with no holdbacks, no provisions, trust Him and follow Him and you will have treasures in heaven.
Lk10:47
Come hearing, believing and acting on His Word
Come putting Him first and foremost before all things; even when it does not make literal sense
Jn6:37
Come to Him knowing he will feed you hunger and satisfy your thirst and will not cast you out!
Come “all” (Jn3:14-15; Rom3:21-23)
Come believing and have eternal life
Come knowing that there is no distinction in anyone for all fall short of the glory of God.
Come without “limitations” (2Cor5:17; Rom5:8)
Come knowing the old is gone the new has come (expand)
It does not matter where you have been; it matters where you are now going!
Come knowing that while we fall short, while still sinners He died for us.
Come and will give you “rest”
Come knowing the promise He gives and we know He cannot lie, He promises rest.
Take
Take it, go ahead, take what is being offered it will help with stress management.
Take My yoke!
Take My yoke!
(expand, yoked to oxen, a team of oxen, Jesus invites us to team up, to partner with Him)
Learn from Him (expand)
Why?
I am gentle, humble in heart (Hos11:4; Php2:8)
Even in disobedience, in rejecting Him, He loves and leads with bonds of love, He wants to life the yoke they have.
He will do the same for us, so don’t stress about it.
(Christ showed us, displayed humility)
And you will find rest (Don’t miss the promise here)
YOU WILL FIND IT; it is a promise, it is yours when you partner up with Jesus and take His yoke upon you.
Including, rest for your soul
Rest for the soul, rest for the mind, will, the emotions.
(expand on this)
Learn
Here comes the application section, learn and apply!
Learn, how (Psm119:73; Pro9:9; Php4:9)
Learn from understanding His Word, His commands
learn by being wise so you may be still yet wiser.
Learn by what you received, heard, seen; and then have practiced
Learn, why, yoke easy, burden light, not burdensome (1Jn5:3)
learning His ways are not burdensome, they are the way we display our love for Him in return; He had done that for us by His example
Learn example, Jesus (Php2:5-8)
