Before I found Christ (as if He was missing as opposed to me being missing), I loved to be under stress. In fact, the more pressure there was, the more I thrived. I lived on the fact that there was always a crisis somewhere that needed my attention. I had two cell phones, a pager and landlines...stress was the norm. Crisis management my middle name. i did not know how to function without any stress...
When I finally took on Christ as Lord and savior, everything changed. After a season of having my own business, the Lord dealt with me about going into full time ministry. Problem was, I did not have any where to preach. What was worse than that was, full time ministry has very little stress when compared to running a security company.
It took me years to get over the fact that my new calling did not come with stress 24/7. In fact, I found this peace that came with serving Christ to be quite disheartening. I became guilty, because I had nothing to worry about. I began to 'rest in the Lord' and this led me to live a life without stress, but rather with peace. Peace is when you stop worrying about your situation and the environment and let God be God...quite a different approach when facing this new economy and its 'lack'.
In Philippians 4:6 it says for you to have no worries...(paraphrased). No worries, simply translated means that you give up control to God, and stop worrying about the things you cannot change anyway. Initially you may feel very uncomfortable and even guilt about not doing enough...but after a while you begin to realize that you might as well enjoy your life to the full and let God deal with the details.
Romans 8:31 if God is for us, who then can be against us? Live this verse...make it your own and laugh in the face of the foe!
