Stress comes from feeling the pull and push of demand on us and feeling an internal lack of capacity (whether it be time, training, ability, ect…).
I want to read but I don’t have time.
My kids want to go to Disney World, but I don’t have the money.
I want to lose weight, but I lack self-control.
These are a few examples from my personal struggles.
God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength but with your testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13)
We are promised in 1 Corinthians to face struggles and hardships, but we are also promised that those difficulties come with solutions. Creative solutions.
Jesus’ life on earth left us with many example of creative solutions. Solutions that to the onlooker seem crazy and unconventional, but they worked.
Be strong and have faith that you can handle what God has given you and when you feel stress trying to creep into your life…FIND A CREATIVE SOLUTION.
