God's Cure For "The Blahs"

Today's RST comes courtesy of Amanda (thanks!)--you should look up and underline these verses in your Bibles--it's good stuff!

Happy Sabbath (more on that below, interestingly enough)...

God's Cure For "The Blahs:"

Just "R.E.L.A.X."

R = realize your worth--He loves you just as you are, and He loves who He knows you can become. God says, "you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you." Isaiah 43:4 (NLT)

E = enjoy what you already have--be content and don't chase after "more stuff." Paul said "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, wheter well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want...my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:12,19 (NIV)

L =limit your labor--rest; take a breather; change the scenery and look around at the beauty of what God has done. "You have 6 days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me. On that day no one is to work..." Exodus 20:9-10 (GN)

A = adjust your values--seriously now: what really truly matters, and what's just hype? Think about it..."What good is it for man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul?" Mark 8:36-37

X = eXpect God's care
"Do not worry saying, What shall we eat...drink.. or wear? For the pagans run [chase] after all these things, and your Heavenly Father know you need them. Rather, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:31-34 (NIV)
